>> well, dana, a lot on the line, obviously. democrats hoping to bring the mueller report to life in a report that they argue many americans may not have had an opportunity to fullry read. it's more than 400 pages and it can be very difficult for americans to really understand what was in the report, given how it was rolled out by the attorney general. so democrats hoping to recast what is in the mueller report, make it very clear even if it's a little more than robert mueller reading from the report himself. if it's live on television, the hope is that it can change the narrative about what the president has done. so that is the democrats' first goal. but behind the scenes there are a lot of preparations happening. both republicans and democrats have held mock hearings preparing for scripted questions. nobody wants to be sort of seen as just going on and on and rambling. they want to be very direct. they have limited time. so here's what jerry nadler, the chairman of the house judiciary committee, said he hoped members and the

i'm dana bash. the acting homeland security borders investigations into what he calls disturbing and inexcusable online activity by border patrol personnel as more americans call the situation on the border a crisis. and seven democratic presidential candidates are heading to iowa today despite the fact that it is almost a holiday weekend. and the president is going to speak in front of the lincoln memorial tomorrow at his event which he is calling the show of a lifetime. well, another president called it almost the same thing. and he certainly knew what he was talking about. he was a former act or o. here is ronald reagan speaking in new york. no tanks here him, but he was on a u.s. aircraft carrier. >> in a few moments, the celebration will begin here in new york harbor. it's going to be quite a show. i was just looking over the preparations and thinking about a saying that we had back in hollywood about never doing a scene with kids or animals because they would steal the seem every time. you can

i think dana and i agree on this point. that is that there's no utility in our using our military support for saudi arabia as a stick to beat the saudis and to somehow think this is going to compel them to make decisions about the conflict in yemen that they're not willing to make. it won't. what it will do is undermine our mill mill relationship with them. it will introduce a new component of conflict, of friction between our societies without accomplishing anything in particular. i would point out that when you talk about -- i mean, dana again made the good point that the saudis and the other gulf states are hedging their bets in the region right now, looking at the lack of certainty in terms of what u.s. policy is. if you want to talk about the s-400 system that the turks have just acquired, saudi arabia has also negotiated with russia about the possible purchase of s-400 even though they already have the patriot system. you know, if we continue to signal unreliability in terms of our military relationship with them, the

la situaciÓn es un dato similar en la capital del estado de luisiana donde se halla mi colega, danaevo. adelante. d --danae: todo estÁ relativamente tranquilo como pueden observar no significa que hayan pasado lo peor. se esperan fuertes lluvias para esta noche, la madrugada y para el dÍa de maÑana los residentes se preparan porque en otras ciudades se ha sentido el golpe de la tormenta tropical barry. veamos. barry se debilitÓ a tormenta tropical una vez que tocÓ tierra luisiana. aÚn asÍ, va dejando su huella en varias ciudades del estado. fue el caso de lafurche donde un dique desbordado provocÓ la inundaciÓn de varias comunidades. en button rus residentes como guadalupe pineda toman sus precauciones. los expertos alertan de fuertes lluvias en los prÓximos dÍas que pudieran dejarse 10 a 20 pulgadas de agua. para estas personas es alarmante pero dicen aferrarse a su fe. >>el seÑor es poderoso y grande hizo misericordias grande para todos. danae: mientras, los refugios de la cruz roja americana crear condiciones en todo el estado americano. >> estos son catres, camas militares. cada

i'm dana bash.mp's racist attacks on four democratic congress w women came has he's campaigning for a reelection bid. is this helping president trump with key swing states? joining me is a senator from one of the swing states that president trump won in 2016. wisconsin republican ron johnson chairman of the homeland security committee. thank you so much for joining me this morning. senator, i have to start asking you about president trump's tweet this morning continuing his attacks on those progressive congresswomen. here is what he tweet in part. i don't believe the four congresswomen are capable of loving our country. do you agree with the president that they are not capable of loving the united states? >> good morning, dana. i would say in general the america love it or leave it is not a new sentiment. that wasn't considered racist. i find it unfortunate so many parts of our public debate are getting stuck inside a racial frame work when what i would like to see is us moving toward that color bli

and also to think tom and dana for their remarks. i think that we just saw, in dana's presentation, why she was the best staffer ever for those of us who have found our way up to the hill from time to time. i want to start -- this is a conversation about the u.s.-saudi relationship. i want to begin by stressing that this is not about the u.s. relationship with mohammad bin salman. one of the things that struck me over the last couple of years is that we have lost sight of the fact that there is a relationship with a whole country out there that, as tom has said, stretches back nearly 90 years and has been based on shared interests, shared perspectives, shared policies over a number of years. not here to defend muhammad bin salman, not here to defend what happened to jamal khashoggi, who many of us knew and considered a friend. one of the narratives in washington that i found striking over this last almost year now since khashoggi's murder is the extent to which we have conflated a number of different aspects of saudi policy, u.s. per

we've seen the president change his mind before, frankly, after -- speaking of dana's column.g of outside pressure, undoing the cave. i don't think anything that's going to happen here that's going to change the trajectory we're in in terms of how much spending is going on. >> the president certainly going to hit a speed bump with his base on this issue. number one, because he promised not to do this. >> really? do you think so? they seem to forgive a lot. >> i said a speed bump. >> a little one. >> little tiny one. >> it will pass quickly. >> and also because of the deficit spending. there are still some republicans in this country that really are worried about deficit spending and that understand this isn't sustainable. and that understand that this government has to start making tough decisions at some point or anoth another. if we want to keep spending at these levels we'll have to raise revenue for our country. >> congress wn carlos carbello and dana milbank, appreciate it. >>> we're just moments away from that senate vote on the bill that many people argued should be a n

-dana: yeah. -lemonis: it really does? no b.s.? -dana: no. lemonis: okay. no b.s., i just did a walk of the kitchen, and it's on-point. no doubt about it. so i want to work in the kitchen with you guys. man: so where was this going? lemonis: i noticed there was some confusion in the kitchen. things are not running as smoothly as they first appeared. which burger is this? man: texan toppings with an egg on it. lemonis: did somebody order a texan with an egg? anybody order it with an egg? you're still waiting for it? is this it? joe t.: i'll get you a burger in sec. lemonis: you got yours and you didn't get yours. that will be on us, by the way. joe t.: are you working on 41 over there? -man: i'm on 45. -joe t.: there's no 41 there? lemonis: we're waiting for a burger with an egg. joe t.: i need that firing, okay? lemonis: who ordered this one? man: we had to remake this burger. -lemonis: is this a refire? -man: yes. well, we dropped it. -lemonis: so this is a no bueno? not only have they messed up two orders, they're completely disorganized. we had another issue. di

>> thank you, senator kennedy. >> quite a display, dana. >> that's right, don.ing put to the test tonight. and i see mitch mcconnell here. mitch, how are you feeling?>> oh, that was awesome. whoo! >> do you feel like this is a wiyou can be proud of? >> oh, hell yeah, dana. republicans read the mood of the people really wanted kavanaugh. everyone's pumped,m

dana. >> i watched that live. thank you so much, arlette for asking all the right questions as always. appreciate it. here with me at the table to share their reporting and insights, katherine lucy, molly ball, shawna thomas and cnn's own phil mattingly. hi, everybody, happy fourth. >> happy fourth. >> so before i came on, i called the harris campaign just to try to get a sense of clarity on this. and the answer that i got was what harris was doing in the debate was trying to focus on biden's position during the '60s and '70s when she was a little girl, as she talked about during the debate. and that the question now -- and she said federally mandated was the way to go, not voluntary, which biden opposed. the question now is what is the position currently? which she has answered as arlette said to the vice president, it should be one of the tools in the toolbox. i thought it was noteworthy that while biden said, okay, let's not focus on the past, let's focus on the now and future, he also made a little bit of a di

dana's correct point, regardless of what u.s. requirements are, as long as we have interest in and obligation to maintaining global economic stability, the fact of the matter is, what happens in saudi arabia will be critically important for u.s. for many years to come. underpinnings of why we have this relationship with a country which is in many ways as diverted from u.s. history as humanly possible, nevertheless that is a relationship that has been critical for us for many years and will continue to be critical. otheraving said that, the aspect of this is tom talked about the fact that there is no constituency in u.s. for saudi arabia. this has always been true. it was true and i was working on these issues in the 1990's. there has never been a wellspring of support for saudi arabia here on capitol hill or broadly in american society. we have worked together because we have seen it in our interest and not because we felt any emotional commitment. what we have seen over these last couple years is in fact the political aspect of

. ♪ liberty, liberty, liberty, liberty ♪ >> dana: hi, everyone. i'm dana perino.bor secretary alex acosta at 2:30 p.m. when he holds a news conference. there are numerous calls for him to step down because of how he handled jeffrey epstein's plea deal back in 2008. a couple is suing after their fertility clinic implanted the wrong embryos, and the woman gave birth to someone else's babies. how did that happen? we will hear from them at it 2:00 p.m. news conference on "the daily briefing" ." >> harris: let's get to that breaking news. labor secretary alex acosta said told the news conference amid mounting calls for him to step down over how he handled or struck a deal for a plea deal with alleged sex trafficker, billionaire jeffrey epstein. 2008, that was. today, the power panel slides i in. hank sean cobbs, radio host kevin mccullough are here the big question is, why do go on live television today? why reporting that he's not resigning in the next little while? why do you do that? >> it's extraordinary. has he consulted with his lawyers? this man is in serious tr

dana, that comes after a wild week, right?in the week the department of justice told this federal judge that it wasn't going to add the question. and then trump issued those biting tweets and he said he wanted to keep fighting. and now the department of justice will say, no, we want to keep our options open. so what that will mean now is daunting legal challenges, because this maryland judge is likely to set a scheduling order for over the summer to look at new discovery and new depositions. another judge is also in new york will be looking at sanctions motions. so these legal challenges are going to continue while this plays out, dana. >> thank you so much. on top of it as always, appreciate it. i mean this is so fascinating because the supreme court decided not necessarily that it's unconstitutional, but that the information that the administration provided was insufficient, right? the issue that the administration has had is that they're up against a clock, that they have to get the census printed and out because that is in

. >> dana: we will see if he takes them or walks away. it'll be interesting because on the political side of things, i want to ask you this -- i saw representative kirkpatrick, not vocal about this, saying she's
