about, a number of pieces of legislation which would be effectively an and necessary city led by thom tillis that would give 2 million people amnesty. we are look at mike lee's 386 in the senate where they want to double the h-1b workers. this looks directly antithetical to what the president said, hire american, buy american. and suddenly we are looking at immigration legislation being moved by the republican conference in the senate and the house. >> the administration has its own merit-based legal immigration reform plan. i don't know if any legislation would get through. lou: but the point is, you don't want it, right? you are not supporting tonight legislation some elements of the republican party are trying to move in the senate and the house. >> that's correct. we are supporting our own comprehensive immigration plan based on merit. on the issue of available workers, this is a very strong prosperity cycle led by pro-growth policies on low taxes and regulations and energy independence. and better trade deals. lou: fair trade deals. >> they are going to open markets. let me just suggest

senate race too so this is going to be one of the most contested races because of thom tillis loses you know the balance in the senate is there so very and so a very good question what's going to happen i suspect a lot of money will be spent in north carolina whose time tell us what one of these issues but i'm jealous as the u.s. senator and he's pretty much been a supporter of donald trump and if mcconnell wants to hold the senate he has to hold north carolina like yes hold colorado yes old arizona so if you lose this thom tillis of cal cunningham or whatever our nominee is he could lose control of the senate and then you know trump if he were president in the 2nd term would have a different situation right well makes a. so it's good strategy fill up a coffee shop will open a grandiose nexus coffee shop i you're right rolly right roll in charge 8 bucks for a cup of coffee that's what the higher it's a very good the higher you are a liar than than 5 bucks starbucks oh yeah much higher but that's how you make money all right are we going to thanks for being on the kaiser report great to

thom tillis, a competitive race.he morning after and i said, well, will you say what trump did was okay, even if you're going to vote to acquit him, and these swing state republicans wouldn't say if what trump did was wrong. he said that's not my job. i'm here to judge on impeachment and i won't comment on that. the nrfc they looked at the polling on this and they found that people in the states are not following impeachment so they're really making a gamble saying we're all in with the president and it's not going to hurt us. >> we're going into february. november seems a long way off. they're hoping they can put it in the rearview mirror even if it's controversial. which president trump do we get in the state of the union address tomorrow night? after the acquittal on wednesday, does he try to be conciliatory, does he try to gloat? if you look at the twitter feed he's mad and raw and taking issue with the democrats even though he's about to be acquitted in the senate. which message from the president if you watch t

senator thom tillis as he was running into one g problem we're geing the money from washington down to riley, but it wasn't getting to the communiti, certain projects or stall under current lalocal stakehoers applying for federal funding for mitigation projects have it until they receive final approval from fema before they n start construction. that's why tillis anda group of bipartisan sators like alabama senator doug jones introduced a bill that would expedite the start of those projects this bill's going to e process. d tape streamline >>so thcities counts, tribes and others can get this moy quicker to try to rebuild. >>a new bill would change fema's grant eligibility reirements to allow states to begin construction immediately after a natural disaster hits to listen. jones say thischange will help communities get back on their feet sooner a lot of a g ojects this one effect. >>but there's so many in alabama that could be small projects are broken up into smaller projects that ju could just help the rebuilding the process a loquicker and they believe they can help communities rebui

republican senator thom tillis wrote a letter today to the defense secretary, saying, quote, this global outbreak is concerning and presents an enduring and uncertain threat. the anxieties and concerns i am hearing from our service members and their families are justified. vice president mike pence is now vetting the information that's released to the public. but today administration experts, including the widely respected anthony fauci of the national institutes of health briefed members of congress. >> dr. fauci was very pointed in the saying, i'm not muzzled. i've not been muzzled. and i took that to mean, he can still speak his mind. and i'm relieved. >> let's get to jon karl. he's live at the white house. the president headed to the rally tonight, but the president moments ago making news on something else -- announcing he's going to nominate texas congressman john ratcliffe as his next director of national intelligence. this is the second time he's tried to nominate him, is it not? >> reporter: the last time he nominated him, which was last summer, ratcliffe ended up pulling out af

it's backed by thom tillis, james lankford, lindsey graham.nts a green card if they worked on farps within the last 180 days. then they have a direct pathway to citizenship. it would give citizenship for up to 2.1 million immigrants. we know the number would be vastly higher. 600,000 fewer the agricultural workers who became citizens under ronald reagans amnesty bill in 1986. joining us is bra -- brandon ju, the president of the border patrol council. can you imagine how dumb these senators are to hold up a magnet right now in an election year to illegal immigrants throughout the hemisphere saying come on up? we are open for business? >> it's absolutely insane. especially when you read the article in conservative review that talks about this. when we are still in a border security crisis, president trump last week said we are still in a border security crisis. he's going to continue that until we get it all under control. then to talk about amnesty, that's one of the main magnets that draw people across our borders. we want the number of borde

obviously right now you have senators like thom tillis and susan collins who are worried about primaryllengers. and right now their messages is trying to beat back those primary challenges. they have to worry about independent voters and maybe some independents voters they hope they can appeal to their side. and this vote on impeachment and witnesses will be used against them by democrats. mike: doug jones and joe manchin and sinema of arizona, do you expect them to vote to acquit? >> all of those did vote to see witnesses. they could use that as an argument. they could say we didn't see these witnesses so we need to vote to impeach president trump. they could say we voted for the witness. we didn't get them. so we have to look at what's in front of us and that's not enough. mike: so the expectation is president trump will be acquitted late wednesday afternoon. but there are no signs the democrats on capitol hill will stop going after the president. >> correct. mike: then the question is how this will be playing across the country. we'll see if people in key democrat states if they thi

refused to listen to the national security adviser of the president, it is a strong -- someone like thom tillisws president trump can win his state while he loses his senate race. they need to win majority in their state outside the trump base. trump is likely to win electoral college victory on his base alone. this is a different calculation for them. >> also seems to me many republicans said they know there will be backlash, they would rather get backlash from the voting public when you look at the 75% that wanted witnesses versus backlash that would come from the president, and that may have led them largely in how and why they voted. >> there's no question. i think they've been pretty open about their fear of the president, making sure they know that we know they're consulting with him throughout the entire trial, he signed off on the acquittal plan last night, they have been transparent about that fear. >> michael, really quickly, it will be the majority leader, mitch mcconnell, that has the power of censure. do you see that he might entertain that since there are so many republicans sayin

really grateful for is lisa murkowski because had she voted the other way, then cory gardner and thom tillisally all would have cast the vote, the vote that denied witnesses and that would have hurt them in november. so the republican party is not s and politico and the new york times. we don't have enough troops to fight each other so i'm disappointed in senator romney, but i would give him the chance to explain to me what his thought process was. neil: well, we do know enough about his position that he just wanted to hear from some of these folks, notably john bolton and aggressively question them. that wouldn't necessarily mean that he would vote to convict the president. but an opportunity for senators to clearly go after this charge that the president had this arrangement with the ukrainian leader and this might have provided that kind of cover that we'll never know now. what do you think? >> right, and my response would be why stop there? if bolton had a conversation that was also overheard by mulvaney and pompeo, do you not also want to talk to mulvaney and pompeo because maybe bolton

i think the biggest concern should be the senate, martha mcsally, thom tillis.ll be reelected. i think susan collins is another vulnerable republican who i think will likely be reelected but i think the odds will be decreased. i think she waited too long to state her case and stance on where she stood in regards to more witnesses. so i think republicans just did not think about this in the long run. if you look at the 2018 exit results of how democrats overperformed in many purple districts, congressional districts, i would imagine you're going to continue to see that same angst and anger from democratic voters and independent voters towards republican and that does not benefit republicans running for re-election statewide. >> what about the new article in "the washington post" which says many of the most endangered republicans have considered fully embarrassing president trump is their only credible path to victory in november, rallying to his side in the final days of the senate impeachment fight, indulging his actions and statements. do you think re-election
