ashley: no.ther one for you, your latest piece about the ninth anniversary of obamacare. i know you're not a fan but we certainly can repeal but what the heck will we replace it with? >> replace it with the market. that is my main goal. this is not going to be replaced, just like you can't replace the fed tomorrow. you have to have a competition, have something evolve. you can't, you can't immediately replace obamacare. they have gotten too many people very dependent on it but the key to this, whether it is money or medicine is allow competition. don't outlaw competition. no monopoly. and that is what trump has done. he made one regulation where it is easier to get out of obamacare but except they have all these exceptions. so i think the country will survive if you can always opt out. i don't like government education for instance. but i really think it is important that we have the right to teach our kids at home in private schools as long as we have that right, we'll survive. and that is is th

ashley: big problem. $116 billion each and every year. kristin tate's with us, columnist for "the hill." where did that number come from? can you break it down? 116 billion? >> well, sure, i first want to say, stuart, as you know i'm a libertarian, so i want more immigrants coming into this country, however we cannot afford millions of people coming to this country dependent on u.s. taxpayers. illegal immigration poses staggering costs to federal, state and local budgets. now that 116 billion-dollar figure was derived by subtracting the total tax revenue paid by illegal immigrants which was around $19 billion from the total impact of illegal immigration. illegal immigrants are net consumers of taxpayer-funded services. the relatively small amount the population pays in taxes doesn't come offset increasing costs burdened imposed on taxpayers. stuart: that is illegals, 116 billion-dollar cost per year. legal immigrants, there is a million per year, i don't believe they have a net cost to the country. i don'

ashley: it is.ell, this came to light after "wall street journal" did a report saying he was running yet another operation using a cell phone out of the correctional institution in fort dix, new jersey. he's operating a business called phoenixus, which is essentially a reincarnation according to the "journal" of his turing pharmaceutical company which we know jacked up prices on a slew of drugs. he's serving seven years on security fraud and conspiracy, but apparently he's not letting it slow him down. now the prison has got on to this story, he's in a special housing unit basically under watch, apparently does not have a phone but you know what, he's one of those characters, isn't he. just doesn't seem to -- stuart: yes. ashley: -- go way. stuart: i do want to get to the measles outbreak. 387 cases confirmed in 15 states. do we have anything to add to this? susan: we have six outbreaks currently taking place, and that includes here in new york state, california, new jersey as well and washington. j

ashley, what do you think of that? ashley: awful., this is a city in a word, we already have meatless mondays in the school district here, by the way, so this is just expanding that. but i walk to work every day, i walk home. i live in this city. and how about doing something about the third world road system, the potholes, the third world subway system, the number of people sleeping homeless on the street that i walk by every day. this city needs some serious help but let's get the meat out of the schools. stuart: yeah, precisely. let's politicize our children's diets. why not? good lord. there are some votes in it. ridiculous. >>> guess what? the cast of "empire," you know the show that featured jussie smollett, the cast wants him back. what do you say to that? liz: here's the quote. he's honest, he's filled with integrity, he's innocent, no longer subject to legal uncertainty. stuart: what? liz: they're not believing the criminal charges against him. no recognition of him staging his own hoax or no recognition of 16 felony counts

ashley: this is such an awful story, i can't believe it's happening. sophie: the first amendment has been violated on multiple occasions. as soon as the right was passed, net even 10 years later, the alien and sedition act prohibited public opposition to the government, where someone could be fined or imprisoned, and even though the government has tried to take it away, it has lasted as long as our constitution has been enstated. ashley: and because of that, freedom of speech is part of the definition of being american. sophie: that it is, and congresswoman susan brooks can vouch for that. >> other countries, people don't have those opportunities and freedoms and that's why people come here for those opportunities. so, we are a deacon of hope for many, many countries and people in the world and i think it's in large part because of freedom of speech. sophie: i have more to say, and you have more to learn, so come with me. ashley: oh, come on. sophie: like you said, freedom of speech defines the american experience. and although freedom of speech has be

ashley, how much i miller shaping immigration policy at this time and wha does it reveal to have this nomination pulled? ashley: stephen miller has alwaeen the driving force on immigration and throughout theid prcy, it seems the president will flirt a little bit with democrats, maybe offer up something on daca and when he's pulled back, it's stephen miller. the president's gut instinct is that far right, a position he's taken for decades, if you read his books, what he's said before. busit's stephen who has alw been doing this but to see this nomination pulled, miller is absolutely behind this. he was one of the people the president's ear about this and "the post" also reported that the president in the oval office told a group of people stephen miller is in charge of immigration now. while it was always the case, t have the president codify it in the oval was office, elevates stephen even more as we head into 2020 where immigration will be a divisive issue that the president tries to inflame. robert: democrats are calling foen increased aon to the humanitarian crisis on the border wh

ashley and the table are back.nald trump making some very interesting comments, seeming to welcome joe biden to this moment in politics. is that how you heard them? >> i think so. it felt like, on the one hand, a kind of, you know, welcome to the presidential race, welcome to the big leagues. what was really interesting to me was the president, who, of course, has his own very serious allegations of sexual misconduct and groping, kind of making fun of biden for encountering some far lesser grade yags of that same type of criticisms, and it was a good reminder that in 2020, the president and the democrats are not going to be on the same playinghahe standard t applies to the president certainly from his base and his voters who, so far, have said, we know about the "access hollywood" tape, we don't care, necessarily, it's not going to change our vote or our support for him, is not the same as the democratic base who deeply cares about this, and that's why we're seeing this joe biden having to go through all of this an

mike ashley wants to save it, wants to ta ke mike ashley wants to save it, wants to take control of it chief executive and the company doesn't go ahead with its alternative refinancing plan which would see all the shareholders including mike ashley wiped out. the deadline for that refinancing plan is coming either late today or possibly, not entirely sure it later in the week but it's very soon. mike ashley if he wants to stop he has to stop talking and put its money where his mouth is. the fate of debenhams will be decided in the next couple of days. why is that this push back against him or is that clear? they say he hasn't made a concrete offer. they cannot say whether they will accept the offer until he puts a formal offer on the table. he's talked about putting an offer and set out conditions that will be around the offer like him becoming chief executive immediately but there isn't an offer for them to accept. we are betwixt and between at the minute. it looks more like the current alternative, the plan a, the refinancing plan will go through but the ball is mike ashley plasma co

ashley: get free jeans. get free stuff. dagen: that's ashley's -- east london accent.ms. there is that lurking in the background. can theresa may survive this? who knows? who would want her job right now. >> if she cuts a deal with the labor party, this is going to be either no brexit or something that's close to no brexit. ashley: correct. it will be a soft brexit. will corbin insist on a second referendum, no matter what deal they make, the choice going back to the people, saying this is the deal we've got, this or we foforget the whole thing and sty in europe. that could be the next move. >> what will happen to the markets? ashley: uncertainty. sterling has taken another hit. german manufacturing again came out really poor. maria: and italy and germany gdp were cut. ashley: this is not a good time comibl f economicalleconomicall. none of this is good because of uncertainty. businesses don't know what to do,s especially if you have a lot of exposure to the continent. >> this republican republican dumreferendum that peoplevoted g ignored on the installment plan by the

they're 170 million in debt the idea of mike ashley taking over. almost nothing to the lenders are in control, it is a situation where your mortgage is bigger than the value of your house. the lenders say they haven't had a concrete offer from mike ashley. and also theyjudge that the offers he has made doesn't leave them in as good a position as good as their plan to take over. in term of going into administration today it could be placed in administration?m into administration today it could be placed in administration? it is a prepack administration, that means the administration and the outcome of the administration is preplanned, they go before the judge and say this what is the lenders want and the lenders take control and you know what you're going to do. you leave behind some of debt ands debt and you have a new debenhams. switching stories, the the former nissan chairman, carlos ghosn, what has he been saying? he has made a recorded statement, he knows he was going to be arrested again, and the main thing mrghosn going to be arrested again,

that speaks to his credibility. >> ashley parker, the last question to you. we know how the president takes in information. he does it by watching television. i'm always struck on the day of the cabinet hearings, he was just as taken by the testimony of dr. ford in between blase ford he wavered on kavanaugh because he found her so compelling. i have a hard time he wouldn't find hope hicks, maybe or maybe not, these people that work with him all day every day would be if nothing else compelling eyewitnesses to the first two years of the trump presidency. >> that's absolutely right. that's what's fascinating reading the report. you see some people who never tell the truth and who largely tell the truth. going in being interviewed by mueller's people telling the truth, a version of the truth. even trump loyalists like cory lewandowski. people the president wouldn't be thrilled to be talking. the president consumes information through television. while you or mike or i pouring over the mueller report. what the president knows about it reading the papers, what you

we have seen mike ashley already have a near 30% stake.even offered to put into hundred million pounds worth of new shares and he said he would underwrite them. the problem for this company is in his crippling amounts of debt. £625 million, this company last week was only worth £20 million. the board of debenhams took the view of their interests were best served by reverting to its lenders. they have can “— reverting to its lenders. they have can —— taken control and they include a couple of banks and hedge funds who sometimes buy this date in the knowledge that they want to take control because they want to take control because they want to take control of the company. sports direct have cried foul and say they could have saved the company. the bbc has been talking to the ft chief financial officer. even though we believe we have given very achievable, very good, solvent solutions for the business, they have not been interested. they have completely wiped out the shareholders and they are planning to shut a lot of stores, thousands of peo

isn't mike ashley just a bad loser?good retailer, which is a lot more than you can say for the board of debenhams. debenhams state his proposals had too many strings attached and didn't address its fundamental problems. which run deep. a lot of the seeds of debenhams' problems were sown during its private equity ownership about 15 years ago. they stripped out loads of cash, replaced it with debt, and that diverted funds that might otherwise have been used to invest in the business. debenhams is in the hands of its banks and us hedge funds now. an undignified outcome for this household name. they are already looking for a new buyer, one willing to take on its debts. emma simpson, bbc news. a doctor convicted over the death of a six—year—old boy can return to work, a medical tribunal has ruled. in 2015, dr hadiza bawa—garba was found guilty of gross negligence manslaughter over the death of jack adcock. she was struck off last year, but appealed against the decision. an inquiry has heard that a police helicopter, which cr

ashley parker, i'll come to you in the in the meantime. president trump perhaps unsurprisingly laying in to joe biden again this morning. that listen. >> i am a young vibrant man. i look at joe, i don't know about him. i don't know. i would never say anyone is too old, but i know they are all making me look very young both in terms of age and i think in terms of energy. >> so ashley, we know that the president fachncies his nicknam for his political ryele values. is he poll testing sleepy or not too intelligence and old, is that what we're seeing? >> he has ruled out sleepy. there has been some chatter about creepy. he sort of seems to have settled on some nicknames, but he may yet change them. but we're also seeing here this kind of vaguely amusing frankly testosterone fueled battle between these two accept ga theirian grandfathers about who is more youth testimony and energetic. when you are in your 70s, neither one of you can plausibly be called youthful, but i think that we will see sort of a fair debate about who has the energy and th

ashley pa ashley parker, it is a stunning piece of reporting from your colleagues. and it is a stunning piece of timing. it was just last night at an event that rod rosenstein took the rather extraordinary step of accusing everyone from the obama justice department to the media, to cable news pundits, of their trespasses and holding himself out as a one-man rule of law beacon. this story calls his role in the mueller probe into question. >> well, the story is a great deep dive. what it does is it goes behind the scenes and sort of chronicles all of his moves and his roles and what he said throughout this whole process. and one thing it takes you in to see is the way that people who work for the president, work for that administration, often found themselves scrambling to fight for their jobs. to try not to get fired by a tweet. and to sort of balance these two often competing directives, one of which is carrying out their own job, what they were directed to do, and the other is pleasing that most important audience of one. if you read this piece one thing you see is

legal and lift danny cevellos and ashley. >> good morning. >> ashley, we know there was not an obstr against the president from the office of the special counsel. mueller's account is damning. is it an attempt to commit a crime a crime? what is mueller's conclusion? >> yes. it is. mueller would never indict a sitting president. this report makes it clear he was not going to do that. he laid it out for congress so that they can take it the next step and take it to impeachment. he laid it out so trump could face indictment later on when he leaves the presidency. what is important for you to understand is it started with comey. it continued. it continued with the president trying to influence people and trying to get people to lie for him. trying to get different advisers to fire special counsel and actually obstruct special counsel by doing that. they didn't do that. a lot of the people would not and they resisted that. so his efforts were actually stopped so the obstruction wasn't necessarily completed because he wasn't successful in doing it. that doesn't mean he didn't try. it is an
