i want to go to congressman hakeem jeffries of new york. a member of the judiciary committee and chairman of the house democratic caucus. congressman, thanks so much for joining us. so were you disappointed or do you believe robert mueller did accomplish what he needed to do today? >> well he told a story to the american people based on the facts that were gathered over a 22-month long investigation. we didn't expect to hear from robert red ford, we experted to hear from robert mueller. and he is a marine, he's a great american, he's a patriot. he's a talented law enforcement professional. and he laid out a devastating case that compares and contrasts with the lies that have been pedalled by donald trump out of 1600 pennsylvania avenue. donald trump said the whole russia thing is a hoax. bob mueller made clear that russia attacked our democracy in sweeping and systematic fashion. donald trump said this whole russian investigation is a witch hunt. bob mueller made clear that the trump campaign at the highest levels welcomed russian interfere

hakeem jeffries looks exactly like his constituency. this will continue. nancy pelosi i think is on sure footing -- i think she has them under control for now and i think she will with aoc when she explained how important 2020 is. >> shannon: i don't know. i'm interested to see what aoc has to say after that meeting. i will be watching her twitter feed very closely. i will be watching for her read out of the meeting. in the meantime, there's been this discussion that moderate democrats, this is where the speaker trying to stop thing, they are worried about their swing districts if they are out there on this idea of impeachment, but an opinion piece in "the hill" tried to draw parallels with the nixon attempts at impeachment and moving down that path before he resigned, and they say it's actually not, you know, it's not true but democrats would be a political peril for them doing this. they say the opposite proved true during watergate. they won huge in the midterms, are appalled by nixon and republicans supporting him. nobody could predict that a year earl

my friend hakeem jeffries, we worked on a lot of pieces f legislation together.i wish he would go back the legislating, but that's not been the case. one the most striking rebuffs to the obstruction arguments waf to mr.eys when he laid out in on instruction argument and mr. mueller said, don't agree with your analysis." what i think we saw with mr. jeffries, he's having to lead a conference whlost because they have spent all of their time focused on these t investigatiot have gone nowhere. they focused on the mueller report. they showed us nothing we didn't learn three months ago. i pe there is a reevaluation. my hope is what he said in september is they come back wanting to legislate. we had another hearing about problems at thborder. in seven months, they have never brought a piece of legislation to actually fix the underlying problems that president obama or president trump pointed ouon the border. that's democratic party's problem. they're rud >> woodruff: we did hear congressman jeffreys tell us that they want to pursue other issues, but meantime they are ts

. >> steve: can i just make a point about hakeem jeffries? i nearly exploded watching my comment from him. >> melissa: i saw that. >> steve: that he is the problem. hakeem jeffries is the problem, with that incendiary rhetoric. wary of a policy disagreement over something which is perfectly reasonable. by the way, that is the e.u. policy. if you try and claim asylum, you have to do it in the first country you come to. you can't just travel through because you want to end up in germany or the u.k., which has a stronger economy. this is a perfectly reasonable policy and he's calling it xenophobic. >> jessica: but it isn't our policy, that's a problem. and the aclu -- >> steve: secondly, he talked about the policy being lawless and undermining the law. hang on the second -- the deportations, contrary to what you're saying, these are people who have been through a legal process. they've been through court process, they've been asked to leave the country, not enforcing that is what undermines the rule of law. the way hakeem jeffries was speaking t

joining me now, new york congressman and house democratic caucus chair hakeem jeffries, who joined several of his state's delegation this week to denounce those comments from there in new york. congressman jeffers, thank you for being with us. let me ask you how you look at the situation. you have the conditions of migrant children being forced to live in what many have observed as inhuman conditions, you have the postings of border patrol. i mean, this is as bad as it can get in terms of racist postings, making children go days without any kind of bathing and any kind of medical care in some situations. yet this president seemed oblivious to the criticism. >> good afternoon, rev. it's great to be with you. you're exactly right. the entire situation is completely out of control. the inhumanity of the treatment of migrant children should shock the conscience of every single american that exists. it's horrendous. you have young children being forced to live in conditions often without adequate food, without adequate water, without adequate medicine, without adequate diapers, without adequate

i'm joined by hakeem jeffries of new york. mr. jeffrey, thank you for joining us, congressman. and i leave the door open to you. your thoughts about the aesthetics of it, the politics of it, the narcissism. >> thanks for having me on, chris. donald trump is going to turn a national celebration on the national mall into a national embarrassment to feed his out-of-control ego. this is another example of his narcissism. sometimes it's malignant. sometimes it's out of control. at this particular point in time, it really is an embarrassment, and it will be a waste of taxpayer dollars to use the military as a political prop for his own purposes and it's really another sad moment during the trump presidency. >> is there any way of stopping him from using the pictures tomorrow, which are basically the production is paid for by the american taxpayer, especially the people that go -- the older people, the senior citizens who go to these national parks and pay the 10 bucks whatever it is to pay. my question is suppose he turns this into a big extravaganza for his ad campaign next year. th

i'm told that biden has met with congressman hakeem jeffries and bobby scott and criminal justice activists to develop a plan that a campaign adviser said is research based and among the most progressive of all of the 2020 candidates. the plan builds on some of the work that scott has already done in congress. seeking to curtail over-criminalization and reduce recidivism and to create sentencing alternatives. biden has backed away from aspects of the 1994 crime bill in this plan will likely try to serve as a corrective to aspects of bill. there is in ternal discussion about how to release the plan either with a speech or by video. also discussion about when to release it. with some pushing for release before the next debate at the end of the month. we'll watch for that. up next, that is it for "inside politics" catch us week days at noon eastern. up next is "state of the union" with jake tapper and his guest michigan congressman justin amash. thanks again for sharing your sunday morning. when you start with a better that's no way to treat a dog... ...you can do no wrong. where did you learn

there are 4,000 people going home from prison this month because hakeem jeffries, cory booker, and othere were able to work with donald trump. i don't like donald trump. i think donald trump has some racist tendencies, if not a racist. but in order to pass criminal justice reforms it was something that i did. and i don't think cornell west or anybody else had a problem with me working with the trump administration to get criminal justice reform done. so if you're going to attack vice president biden for working with people he didn't like that didn't like him, well, attack me, too, for passing criminal justice reform and workin with donald trump who i know the african-american community has a serious problem with, but we did it. we were applauded for it. i think that that's what's missing in politics, that if we can move the ball forward for the people we represent, the people we care about, the people we love, the people who need us to do it, it doesn't have to be easy. but it's necessary. >> now after the first debate, a source close to the campaign told cnn biden knows he has to do bet

toe has been -- or at least her group has been rumored to want to launch primary challengers on hakeem jeffries in the bronx. been some talk about lodging primaries against other democrats, congressional democrats. needs, who isgory the head of the queens it goesic party, said both ways, in other words, you try to primary me, i will primary you. so that is really what she has to worry about more than a challenge from the republicans. host: we're talking with janon fisher, the politics editor for "new york daily news." tweet fromhow you a one of our viewers who writes the following, "it is a three-member squad now. aoc is the virtual speaker of the house after friday's summit with nancy pelosi." have you ever seen a freshman representative have this much influence this early? guest: know, i have not. i think that, to me, it showed foldshe is still in the with nancy pelosi. i took it more to be that nancy pelosi has sort of brought her to heel a little bit and less so that she is the head of the democratic party. talking points a for republicans more than it is in actuality. nancy pelosi said "yo

there is a silence, that we are hearing a sentiment from some members of congress who -- from hakeem jeffries to ocasio-cortez. but why is it that there are only a few who are speaking out, who are leaders, who are representing this country, who are not saying wait a minute, you know, what's going on here? >> sure, fred. a couple of things. first of all, i haven't seen all of the different members of congress and political leaders who have weighed in or responded. i would have to look and see who on the democratic side responded. you showed that response from speaker pelosi. on the republican side, though, i think there is a pattern where republicans because they need the same voters that support president trump to support them, they have been very reluctant, even in situations as clear cut as this, to call the president out or to chastise the president. >> because there's politics and then there's right and wrong. >> there's politics and there's right and wrong. the one thing i do agree with salena about, i don't think this is going to move the needle that much. the president's approval rati

this came up as well, when you had the current chair of the democratic caucus hakeem jeffries, a friendf mine, also targeted by aoc and others. charles: why are they being targeted by aoc? >> i do have a problem with this, there is truth, when there, in congress, understand how institution works things may start to be different. you may lear her language. hakim jeffries has been a outstanding democrat for new york and this country. having said that, they need to back off a little bit. that does not help, when you have good, strong members of congress worrying about their job from other democrats. charles: weird. asked but the motional immigration hearing, emotions not just from aoc. >> mr. chairman, it needs to be noted in the record, i spoke to cpb agents, even though they told us not to speak to them too, remember that? and i said, what do you think we need to do because you guys are overwhelmed. they said one of them, stop sending money it is not working. charles: well, this issue, of course going to play out on the campaign trail a little differently than we think. julian castro bla

you have james clyburn and hakeem jeffries part of the leadership. it's way too far. >> dana: but in general, the democrats are looking to be quite far left going into the general election. washington post wrote, trump is on something of a roll and he quotes the agonizing facts that president trump appears to be gaining ground on domestic and foreign policy. democrats should wake up. like it or not, trump is on something of a roll. 20 candidates bickering on stage seem like a recipe for four more years. it's july of 2019. we don't know what july of 2020 will look like. but what do you think? >> right now we see the president's poll numbers improving. economy remains strong. we're not involved in any wars overseas to speak of. if these trends continue, he stands a strong chance of re-election. having ocasio-cortez step on the democrats national messages doesn't help their chances. >> dana: do the republicans take comfort in the fact that the democrats are so divided? >> yes. i do agree with david ignatius, if you look at the debates, kamala harris had

if you look at high-ranking democrats, majority web clyburn, hakeem jeffries, maxine waters, chair of one of the most important committees -- >> melissa: why would she make that point, then? that she's pushing on women of color. let me find it. "the explicit singling-out of newly-elected women of color." >> jessica: i'm not really sure why she did it because it's inconsistent. lauren underwood, millennial as well, a 32-year-old african-american woman who has just put forward the most copperheads of health care bill -- >> harris: but when you when i disagree about something you don't call me "the black lady." i'm not coming from some camp that is different, because we disagree on the issue. the bigger point is, how did we get to race in this particular conversation? >> jessica: i don't think that it -- >> harris: the issues are important. >> jessica: i don't think it's appropriate. i would like to say, a small, they are four votes and part of the very large progressive caucus. they are the only four talking like this. they are. >> david: the point is that they are four votes with a lot

one member, hakeem jeffries, told us this is not about ego.trying to be in the spotlight. it's about getting to the truth. >> every single member of the house judiciary committee on a democratic and republican side should be able to participate in the hearing in some way, shape or form. >> what's the reason? why do members need to be asking questions? why do you need your time in the spotlight? >> i don't think anyone has suggested that they should have time in the spotlight. i think at the end of the day the american people would be better served if we spent as much time as possible communicating the importance of the stakes of this hearing as it relates to an incredible attack on our democracy. >> reporter: the initial agreement about 22 members of the house judiciary committee would get a chance to question, split roughly between both sides. that would leave about 20 or so members not being able to allowed to question, more junior members, which is why we heard the pushback. one other reason we're hearing from the possibility of this delay

hakeem jeffries serves on the judiciary committee, britney cooper, author of the book "eloquent rage," and afaf nasher, executive director on the council of islamic releases. thanks to all of you for being here. >> great to be here. >> congressman, at the highest level you and your colleagues have just said this is racist and you took that unusual step to rebuke donald trump. at a more granular level it, does seem it got out of hand even for trump. what does it mean to you that he tried to back away and at times lie about what he did this week. >> well, in my view, there may have been some individuals close to him saying this is getting out of control for at least 24 hours, he walked things back and then he walked back the walkback. at the ed of the day, ha shows you that he is who he is. he cannot help himself. and it is a part of donald trump as an individual to pedal this xeen phobic poison in a way that is increasingly dangerous. and i would suggest that some of his friends, his family members, his allies who pretend to believe in civility go to him and say cut it out, you are cro

there are different elements as hakeem jeffries just went through and he picked one that was like threehree, right? there are several of those in the report. and it leads to the question, why didn't you indict and we know why. because justice department said i couldn't. under any definition that i proper would use, that's an indictable crime that the person should be charged with. >>. then you have the fact that under the law, it is legal to lie to most people. >> yes. >> you can lie to your friends. you can lie to the ice cream counter person. you can lie to your barista. it is illegal to lie to the government which is why this moment today stood out. >> in fact, there were many questions that you asked the president that he simply didn't answer. isn't that correct? >> true. >> and there were many answers that contradicted other evidence you had gathered during the investigation. isn't that correct? >> yes. >> director mueller? >> could you say, director mueller, that the president was credible. >> i can't answer that question. >> director mueller, isn't it faer to say that the preside

i plugged earlier our road map checklist which is our special report later in the hour where hakeem jeffries makes that argument. let me play this republican congressman radcliff in the exchange taking the other side of david's point. take a look. >> the very first line of your report, the very first line of your report says, as you read this morning, it authorizes the special counsel to provide the attorney general with a confidential report explaining the prosecution or declination decisions reached by the special counsel. that's the very first word of your report, right? >> that's correct. >> here's the problem, director. the special counsel didn't do that. on volume 1 you did. on volume 2 with respect to potential obstruction of justice, the special counsel made neither a prosecution decision or a declination decision. you made no decision. volume 2 of this report was not authorized under the law to be written. it was written to a legal standard that does not exist at the justice department. >> david, you worked at the justice department. >> i did. >> your response? >> look, if it wasn't

jared kushner just met with hakeem jeffries on the hill a couple days ago.ll going to be a very uphill battle. it took years and years to get the first step act passed. and this is a big, expansive proposal that will actually give older prisoners the chance to tell a judge, i should be free, and the judge would have to prove this person should not be in prison. it's a big uphill battle but the mood has changed in this country on this. >> matt, what's your sense you can get republican buy-in on a proposal like this? >> i think it's possible. cory booker has done a very good job. this is something he truly believes and something he's been talking about for a while. this isn't some political proposal he's unveiling because he's running for president. the two people that this will affect the most in the long run are joe biden and kamala harris. talk about the war on crime. joe biden is there in the early '90s that his version of crime bill was tougher on george w. bush. that he gave the zej death penalty to everybody but jay walkers. and kamala harris, if she ri
