lujan grisham: 20% better. [applause] gov. lujan grisham: manufacturing jobs, i.t. jobs, tourism, we are creating pathways into these careers. we are giving the mexicans the skills they need to succeed, because we all want an economy that is stronger than one industry, no matter how strong that industry is today. we have got to create more opportunities in rural communities, on main street, so we have got to consider every good idea.i -- a perfect example is cannabis. recreational cannabis can be the next frontier of our economic expansion. [applause] gov. lujan grisham: we can get in on the ground floor, or we can try to play catch-up. now, i know which one i prefer, and frankly, i know which one new mexicans prefer. 75% of new mexico supports the legalization of adult-use cannabis, including strong support in leroux areas. rural areas. for years now, we have debated recreational marijuana use. we have seen them thrive in so many others. we say, it is, not for us. well, it is in fact easier to get to know, it is much harder to stand up and create something , build

lujan grisham: i am who i am. i will be tireless on behalf of new mexicans who have not yet felt the effect of our changing fortunes from our course toward steady and sustainable progress. tiffany's daughter turns 12 next month. tiffany works two jobs to provide for her daughter, and frankly it is just barely enough. she feels the strain every single day, working extra time, relying on families to help care for her daughter. tiffany went to you and into obtain her bachelors and dropped out after a few semesters because she could not afford tuition. what she wants is the opportunity to get ahead where she lives, the chance to thrive and make a better life right there, the chance to get her daughter in the high quality afterschool programming and get gainful, full employment, so she so sheilling employment does not have to worry about the next bill and the next bill after that and the unexpected bill, and then maybe a medical expense that puts everything over the edge. tiffany made the sacrifice to take time out of

the other one is stephanie grisham. miss grisham is officially the white house press secretary.b was once a vaunted post in any administration, the conduit through which the white house tells the american people what it's doing, and often questioned about what it's doing by reporters. for example, if a president were to escalate the dangers overseas by killing a high-ranking iranian general, you might think the press secretary would head to the podium to keep the country and the world abreast of what's going on, but that doesn't happen anymore. it hasn't for 301 days. we've mentioned miss grisham on the ridiculist before, back in socket, we highlighted her defense over on fox ampersand friends of acting white house chief of staff mick mulvaney after the white house had to walk back or reinvent mulvaney's statements, basically admitting that president trump had squeezed the president of ukraine for dirt in return for u.s. aid. grisham's appearance came less than 24 hours after acting chief of staff, mick "great muppet caper" mulvaney drew huge reviews, ranging from not helpful to

back do grisham, though.we are the only ones concerned over the lack of white house press briefings. two mega best-selling authors have now made her a proposal. take a look at this tweet from crime novelest don winslow. quote, to press secretary stephanie grisham, i'm umming my offer to $100,000. we will go nate 175,000 to st. jude in your name and help a lot of kids if you will take questions from the press corps for one hour in the white house briefing room. cnn's jake tapper asked ms. grisham about that offer to which she applied, if you have $200,000 to play with, why not just help children because it's a good thing to do. donations to charity should never come with strings attached. and there it is again. she just did it again. it's brilliant. donations to charity should never come with strings attached. guess who views charity in exactly a strings-attached kind of way? the president. here's his strings-amuch ttache offer to president obama. >> i have a deal for the president, a deal that i don't believe

>> secretary grisham: i think he has concerns for future presidents. any president is going to need to be able to talk to all his senior advisors and certainly anybody who has to deal national security, and feel they can talk very frankly and openly about intelligence matters and matters that the rest of the world don't need to know about. i think the president is looking out for future presidencies. >> harris: yeah, you can see criticism is coming that he previously wanted a senate trial that would have witnesses. this is when witnesses democrats would pu push for, no they don't have to pay jumbled and says if they subpoena him he will come forth. look over the news on that as it happens. 13 former white house press secretary's -- no doubt you're following this story -- foreign service and military officials got together calling on the white house told those regular press briefings, writing this in an op-ed. "regular briefings for the certain discipline on government decision-making, knowing there are briefing scheduled is a powerful incentive for adm

howie: joining us to talk about it this week stephanie grisham. is the president aggressively going after impeachment media when it's the house democrats that brought the articles of impeachment and prosecuting trial in the senate? >> i think the video at the top is very good examples, we have at davos, switzerland, the president was touting the country, the phase 1 china deal, we did a press conference and i think he got two questions about what we were there for and the rest was all impeachment, they just won't, they won't let up and it's to the detriment of the country because they are not hearing all the great things for the country. >> in fairness, he doesn't shy away from talking about it. the impeachment hoax is a massive election interference which has never been seen before, but even though this was a party-line vote, it is thanks in part to alexander hamilton in the constitution, why does he say massive election interference? >> because they are trying to stop the next election, they are trying to stop him from being the next president f

meanwhile, stephanie grisham with us last hour.concern when he weighs his next move militarily. >> collateral damage, and people being injured. he's going to have to keep that in mind. the president has such difficult decisions to make on a daily basis. for three years now he has been very careful. which should show that this was in imminent danger to americans. he is very careful and thoughtful and widows options very carefully based on intel and what is national security team tells in. >> bill: john roberts on the lawn with more now. good morning. >> good morning to you. a couple of big briefings this week. first of all, tomorrow the full house and senate will be briefed by the secretary of state, defense secretary, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, and the cia director. it will be members of the intelligence community itself who are going to brief the gang of eight later on today or just to refresh you as to who the gang of eight is, it's the leadership of the senate on the house as well as the chairs and the ranking member

stephanie grisham fired back, telling axios, this is groupthink at its finest.to president trump, yet they continue to complain because they cannot grandstand on tv. >> lawrence: it's true. this was an opportunity it's true this was their moment. steve and i don't really think much of jim acosta's. >> lawrence: they have access to the president, they complain about things all the time, they want to talk about the present, he speaks going on the plane, getting off the plane, he speaks to them, open press conferences, he brings them in. i don't know what more they want. >> harris: genies glaring at you. >> jeanne: no, i'm listening intently. he disappeared. because i love the queen, i'm sort of a traditionalist, no, not really, harris. but i did love the white house press briefings, but i have to say, times have changed. i don't think they were at all effective because, you know, people were just getting that information and pushing it out. in this day and age, i'm not sure we need them the way we did before this 24 hours news cycle. everything has change, the way

>> secretary grisham: i wouldn't have said that. i probably would've told rudy or somebody. but i have every right, i want ambassadors that are chosen by me. i have a right to hire and fire ambassadors and that is a very important thing. but even if you look at the conversation i had with the president, he didn't like her because in there, he didn't like her. i don't know, i didn't hear this but if they have that, i will tell you right now, i feel strongly that this is somebody who probably shouldn't be with us. she wasn't popular even in the country and the new president who ran on corruption -- >> but parnas might've been at a table you were at, a function. >> sure, but you have to understand i see thousands of people. i just left florida where i was shaking hands, taking pictures with hundreds and hundreds of people in one night. >> what would be your advice to your defense team customer you are a man of tv. with ronald reagan probably the man who knows to be better than, what do you want to see from your defense team? what would be your advice to them? >> i watch all the

joining us tonight, white house press secretary stephanie grisham. good to have you with us. the president is to be congratulated. the administration and the national security team in particular for taking out a man who is responsible for hundreds and hundreds of american lives being lost in iraq and the spread of state-sponsored terrorism from iran. your thoughts tonight, the mood in the white house and within the administration. >> well, certainly it's a great day for our country because of the president's decisive action, thousands more american lives and other lives will be saved -- saved. this man, this terrorist was brutal, and not only was he responsible for hundreds of deaths of americans, but thousands of horrible injuries to americans and others. he wasn't going to stop targeting americans. that's something to think about. the president, you know, he knew there was imminent danger. we had good intel that there was imminent danger and that americans were going to be killed and so he took the bold and often times hard action that he had to as president knowing that he

reporter: stephanie grisham on earlier on media buzz.nt, 56-44 voters think senate should remove president trump from office. 81%, most republicans did i agree. 84%, should be a bit of context, the poll is weighted 48-42 with democrats over republicans which is thought to reflect their overall numbers nationwide. that is fairly standard in great deal of polling between now and the election. as for tomorrow on capitol hill it does resume. by statute it has to be 1:00 p.m. eastern time. we expect harvard law professor alan dershwitz to talk about the constitutional reasons not to convict the president. among other attorneys speaking on president's behalf. i will be here and have all the coverage. arthel: you do know how to spell geaux. don't you? reporter: g-e-a-u-x. go tigers. he didn't have a monitor. he knew. hope in turkey after devastating earthquake a baby girl and her mother rescued after being trapped underneath the rubble. that tale of hope coming up. >>> iran is extending an olive branch to us despite the american airstrike that

that suggestion by stephanie grisham is incorrect. the question it raises is what is lev parnas trying to do. it is not at all clear from the interview wlhat the answer to that is. i don't think it helps him with federal prosecutors. what's the angle he is working here, and that's actually a tricky question and i don't think i understand the answer to it. >> cynthia, do you? >> no, i completely agree. i would not be happy if this happened in a case of mine. ben is completely correct. one of the great mysteries is what's the game for him, because it is not going to help him with prosecutors, and congress people aren't in a position to help him in terms of sentencing, and certainly is not going to help him get a pardon, so it is unclear what the game is, frankly. >> one possibility, by the way, is that the game is that he is playing for a grant of congressional immunity to tell his story in front of congress in a way that will then, you know, such grants of immunity can make prosecutions very difficult, even if they don't transactionall

stephanie grisham fired back telling axios, this is group think at its finest. the group has access to president trump but they continue to complain because they can't grandstand on tv. they're not looking for information, they're looking for a moment. it wasn't the press, those were former press secretaries complaining there, people who held stephanie grisham's job but were less afraid to take questions from fellow americans. they are happy to get their communications from the white house as they are issued in social media. like this one from 70 degree washington, d.c. yesterday. first snow of the year. that's thing 2 in 60 seconds. >>> have you ever noticed how nearly every winter when it gets cold, donald trump tweets about global warming, like that time it snowed january and trump said, wouldn't be bad to have a little of that good old-fashioned global warming right now. on november 2018 when it was cold, trump said, whatever happened to global warming? or when the forecast called for chilly new year's eve december 2017, perhaps we could use a little of that

joining us tonight, white house press secretary stephanie grisham who watches this close up every day, stephanie, great to have you here. it's been a long kay for you win suspect there will not be many short days for you. certainly in prospect. this is -- let's start with the incredible report that we began this show with. the president's usmca deal approved by the senate overwhelmingly yesterday standing in the east room with the vice premier of china to seen it u.s.-china trade deal. these are historic occasions. how does it feel to be part of that history? >> i continue to be so proud of this president. i knew all throughout the campaign, i learned from him what a fighter he is. it's been obvious the more he wins and the more he does for this country the more the democrats are working against him. it's very sad. i want to point out, at the beginning of your show, you are talking about the economy. it's booming under the president. i do want to point out that between september and january, the three networks, they covered the economy for minutes. and they covered ukraine and impeach

stephanie grisham is right, notwithstanding the terrific interview rachel maddow did, this guy has a lot of baggage. when you're prosecuting criminal cases often the witnesses are criminals themselves. you take the witnesses as they come to you. senator paul is right, if they allow one witness to be called an testify live who did not testify before the house judiciary committee, or the house intelligence committee, because of all that newly acquired evidence, that trial will go on until may. that is how many witnesses will be there. it may take that in order to get to the truth but these people know things that the senate should be aware of. this information didn't come out. neil: you're saying where ever you stand on this, you cannot, not pursue, right? >> each senator takes an oath they will resolve this only on basis of evidence. if there is evidence out there, they can't constitutionally bar the lawyers from presenting it. neil: all right. so back to what i said before i get to market guests who can address what is happening it the markets, i think markets are view of when it com

joining us tonight, white house press secretary stephanie grisham. good to have you with us. the president is to be congratulated. the administration and the national security team in particular for taking out a man who is responsible for hundreds and hundreds of american lives being lost in iraq and the spread of state-sponsored terrorism from iran. your thoughts tonight, the mood in the white house and within the administration. >> well, certainly it's a great day for our country because of the president's decisive action, thousands more american lives and other lives will be saved -- saved. this man, this terrorist was brutal, and not only was he responsible for hundreds of deaths of americans, but thousands of horrible injuries to americans and others. he wasn't going to stop targeting americans. that's something to think about. the president, you know, he knew there was imminent danger. we had good intel that there was imminent danger and that americans were going to be killed and so he took the bold and often times hard action that he had to as president knowing that he

i will put up a picture of stephanie grisham, the current white house press secretary.ve not seen her, she is refusing the have press briefings. >> there's a lot of reasons for the briefings. it's transparency and accountability and one of the arguments the white house makes, and it's legitimate, there's more access to this president than any president that we have seen in modern history. he is constantly available, taking questions. what he says is sometimes off the wall. he is available. i don't understand, the reason people do press briefings is that it helps them. it helps to put your side of the story out there. that is why i think they will ultimately come back. whoever the next it's to your best to do it. they have made a decision that being the enemy of the press works for trump. that fires up their voters. they see up side to it and you know, frankly if you are someone standing up there and you know that donald trump is going to chak his position any moment -- change his position any moment. i would not want to stand there and explain what he is coming from. >>

stephanie grisham gets paid six figures to not do her job, the best job on earth as the white house pressomment from a muslim commentator, saying that's a slur against the religion of 1.7 billion people and stephanie grisham doubles down and says he did it to show the democrats are terrorist sympathizers to somehow insinuate that those who are muslim, 4 million americans, are somehow terrorists, the same thing he did with obama, promoting the birther conspiracy. why are we surprised? he's a racist. in 2020, you're supporting and endorsing a racist president. >> scott, would you tweet something like this? would you tweet this? >> no, i wouldn't. i lived through the bush/cheney years and trump years, and i've seen meme after meme, after picture, after photo shopped image of all those guys depicting adolf hitler. i don't like it when the left depicts people as nazis and we shouldn't do it to political opponents either: the ones who are angry are the most likely to retweet. >> scott, i want to help you here. you're not saying -- >> help me? >> you're saying wearing a hijab is the same thing a

let's bring in stephanie grisham she's the white house press secretary.way for banks, credit card networks, companies and investors tell us more about it. >> yeah, absolutely it's great for the country and i have to say personally that coming from a family of farmers, this is great news, because it will bring billions and billions of dollars in for agricultural products. i think too that what's important is that the president ensured that we would make sure that china stays with this deal and if not impose more tariffs so this is a great thing for the country and the president continues to work amongst all this other noise that's happening, and as earlier was just said we expect usmca to be passed today, which is fantastic the president's also going to be signing a religious freedom executive order today, and then tomorrow, we're very excited to welcome thel su to the white house, so, the president continues to -- steve: wow. >> absolutely the president continues to work. it's a great week for the country. steve: and you know, as you depicted what has bee

asked about this move on state tv, white house press secretary stephanie grisham said this. >> i think the president is making clear that the democrats are iranian talking points and taking the side of terrorists and those out to kill the americans. >> really? you can't prove there's imminency. you can't show the proof but it's on them. be on the look out this president will do whatever he can to prey on any kind of prejudice, any weakness because he can't win without it. this wasn't just anti-muslim. this was anti-american again.

the white house press secretary, stephanie grisham, said yesterday the president would be continuallybriefed by staff. and this morning we heard from the president himself who said that he was pleased with the case that his legal team is making on the floor of the senate. so far, that's what we've seen. now listen, we're certainly going to hear from the president later on in the day as he sits down for those meetings with world leaders. and perhaps he'll offer more comments on these impeachment proceedings. christine, laura? >> jeremy diamond, thanks. >>> the fast-spreading coronavoyeurs has the world health conference calling an emergency meeting. the death toll up to nine in china with 440 affected. officials in washington state confirming the first case of the virus here in the united states. the centers for disease control activating an emergency operations center and has increased travel precautions as screenings are being stepped up in new york, chicago, and atlanta. cases have been confirmed in south korea, thailand, and japan, with suspected cases under investigation in austra

so the -- stephanie grisham, the white house press secretary who will only go on fox, has -- is talking about this, this morning. i guess we should hear from her. >> the president has said he did not know him. i've got to say, just to say rudy told me these things doesn't mean it has anything to do with the president. and it certainly doesn't mean the president was directing him to do anything. we stand by exactly what we've been saying. the president did nothing wrong. the phone calls, the transcripts say everything there is to it. this is a man under indictment, and who is actually out on bail. this is a man who owns a company called fraud inc. >> rudy giuliani should have been thinking about that. >> he owned fraud guarantee while rudy giuliani was palling around with him. >> he was paying rudy giuliani for fraud guarantee. >> while taking pictures with president trump. >> this is something they've known about for a while. i'm not sure that's a defense. also when stephanie grisham says saying that rudy giuliani told me doesn't mean anything about the president. you know who disagrees

this morning white house press secretary stephanie grisham said in a statement, quote, the only thinghas achieved with this sham impeachment process is to prove she's focused on politics instead of the american people. i'm joined by white house reporter for the associated press and michael beschloss, presidential historian. i don't know where to start with this administration and its press secretary. they don't even act like government officials. they act like they're political operatives trashing the people that criticize them. this impeachment process has proved itself to be very well handled by the speaker. they've done it all right and then they just trash the whole thing. this person, i don't know her, stephanie grisham, press secretary, she doesn't hold press briefings or do her job of telling what's going on, doesn't do that or minute tear yal work. all she does is issue these attacks. here she is attacking a legitimate constitutional process which is in the constitution before the bill of rights. it's essential to the way we do things. the congress has a right to remove a pres

well the white house press secretary stephanie grisham who's traveling with the president did kind of respond to this she said essentially the president checking in on this but what she was implying was that the president is working on behalf of the american people it's a real stark contrast sensually the president you know perhaps could be here but what he's trying to do is appear presidential which is a challenge when he goes on twitter he did in fact in just the last hour or so saying once again a tweet we've seen before read the transcripts what he's trying to say as he said in the past his phone call with lot of resolute ski the foundation of this impeachment inquiry that there was nothing nefarious about it in his words it was a perfect telephone call and with respect to davos the president is trying very hard to tout some of the accomplishments of his presidency and in fact they are significant renegotiating trade deals is a big campaign promise the president has secured on whether it's with canada and mexico phase one of the china trade deal here's the problem no one's talking

. >> stephanie grisham said gathering doesn't mean the president knew of or even remembered lev parnase president sits at many, many dinners, at many, many round tables with people that he does not know. >> trevor: yeah, the president has many, many dinners, sometimes all on the same night.
