vote this afternoon, shep. >> shepard: this matter of declaring a national emergency, we'll go to john roberts at the white house in just a minute. john, this is something -- to what degree there's really influence, i don't know as someone sitting here doing the news and not the commentary. all the people out there making noise for him have said oh, okay, do this but you better sign a national emergency. how much has an effect has that had? do we have a way to know? >> he has had backup from mitch mcconnell, backup from senator lindsey graham who said weeks ago the president should give a certain amount of time for negotiations. if he doesn't get what he wants, declare a national emergency. i just got off the phone with a white house official that said mitch mcconnell spoke to the president and that's what was said in the conversation. so i mean, that's a huge piece of news that he will sign it but at the same time, declare a national emergency. chad was talking about the transfer authority and reprogramming money within. it's like -- think that you have a farm. think of the federal government

back to john roberts again. michael flynn, saudis, nuclear. >> this is something that elijah cummings had been investigating for a number of months when he was a ranking member. now with democrats control of congress, he's launching a full blown investigation to what was going on. according to a report that i read, according to whistle-blowers a staff report from the committee, multiple whistle-blowers have come forward to express concern that the former national security adviser michael flynn was helping to spear head this plan to send nuclear power technology to saudi arabia. flynn was an adviser to a company called ip3 that was developing a proposal to build nuclear power plants in saudi arabia. the whistle-blowers also say that flynn failed to disclose on his security clearance renewal application a trip that he took to saudi arabia in june of 2015 on behalf of ip3 which we point out has several retired generals on its board. one senior political official stated the proposal was not a business plan but rathe

our chief white house correspondent john roberts reporting live in hanoi, vietnam. john? >> trace, good morning to you. it's 3:00 a.m. here in hanoi. we're in a game of duelling diplomatic narratives. president trump saying north korean leader kim jong-un gave him a deal that he couldn't accept, asking for all sanctions to be lifted if north korea agreed to shut down their main nuclear facility. but in a rare press conference that happened in midnight here in hanoi, last night, the country's foreign minister saying whoa, didn't happen like that at all. we asked for some sanctions to be lifted and the u.s. was asking for more than what we offered. listen here. >> they were willing to denuke a large portion of the areas that we wanted. we couldn't give up all of the sanctions for that. so we continue to work and we'll see. we had to walk away from that particular suggestion. >> was what reposed is not the

vote was 5-4 with chief justice john roberts joining the courts four liberal judges voting for the stay. so, does this signify a left ward shift for the chief justice? how will the president who has been critical of roberts in the past respond. >>> plus, matthew whitaker will appear before the house judiciary committee but how much will he say and what will they do to force them to talk? he had refused to talk until they issued a subpoena during the hearing. >> they're vowing to press him on two subjects, his decision not to recuse himself from overseeing the mueller investigation despite his public rebuke of the probe and his conversations with the white house about the russia investigation. that's something the president recently said never happened. then of course there's the new explosive blog post from amazon found are jeff bezos which accuses the "enquirer" of extortion and black pail. the head of ami is a long time friend of president trump, david pecker. the company has not commented on bezos's allegations although plenty of other people are. >> we'll get to that in a moment. jo

john roberts listening in. john? >> yeah, you know, the president speaking to law enforcement officers he had a few over to the white house yesterday. he was talking about building the border wall. the president insists that he's already building a lot more border wall than people would have imagined. a lot of this is replacing existing border fencing that is obsolete with things that are higher in work. the president believes better. what he really wants to do is add mileage. that's what's important with this bill that could be coming to the president at some point. we know that the president has not seen this bill. we don't know exactly when he's going to see it. the white house told us the president has not made a decision on whether the president has signed it until it's given a thorough review. now there's talk that they might not get this done in time for friday's deadline. so now members of the house freedom caucus are floating this idea of keeping government funded through another continuing resolution for a

john roberts joined the liberals to block the antiabortion law from taking effect.he news came days after the president attacked reproductive rights in the state of the union address. he criticized new york for passing a law codifying a right to an abortion. contrastis no greater of a mother holding her infant child than the chilling displays our nation saw in recent days. lawmakers in new york cheered with the light upon the passage of legislation that would allow a baby to be ripped from the mother's womb, moments from birth. these are beautiful babies who will never get the chance to share their love and dreams with the world. case of the the governor of virginia, where he stated he would execute a baby after birth to defend the .ignity of every person i am asking congress to pass legislation to prohibit the late-term abortion of children who can feel pain in a mother's womb. let's work together to build a culture that cherishes innocent life. let's reaffirm a fundamental truth, all children born and unborn, are made in the holy image of god. the new york governo

chief white house correspondent john roberts is left outside the white house with more. john? >> melissa, good afternoon to you. this lawsuit filed by california and 15 other states is actually the second one that was filed. the first was filed here in washington, d.c., yesterday by public citizens. the d.c. circuit court of appeals often is unfriendly to president trump, but filing in california you are probably guaranteed a more favorable ruling against the president then he would be in just about any of the court in the land. but this is something the president predicted what happen on friday when he unveiled the emergency declaration and he predicted that the battle would be fought all the way through to the supreme court. what is not being said in all of this is not the president can use an awful lot of money to start building new wall immediately. it's a political sleight-of-hand going on. a lot of, "hey, look at this over here! don't look at this over here!" this being the emergency declaration being tied up in court. meantime, this is actually $1.37 billion of the pres

want to get to john roberts who has arrived also in hanoi. john, as we await the president to disembark off air force one let's begin with you and what you're picking up on what we can expect this week. welcome to hanoi. >> thank you, bill. welcome to you as well. good evening to you from hanoi. the president is selling kim on this idea of economic transformation in north korea. kim has already seen the possibilities. he was in singapore and went to the big casino down there. the marina bay sands and saw what is possible if you develop a capitalist economy, not to say he would ever do that but he has seen what a powerful economy can bring you in terms of benefits. the president's first meeting with kim will be tomorrow night. they will have a social dinner together and have their summit on thursday. the president seems in no rush to push kim into process of denuclearization just yet. a lot of pressure coming from democrats for the president to get some sort of tangible progress in terms of denuclearization with kim jong-un. it should be a coup

we're back in john roberts world. everything is happy. i know this sounds nuts but there is weight here, right. if we take the position seriously that what congress did in 2017 was unlawful, then the remedy is to kill what congress did in 2017 and raise the penalty back to $700 a year. now, i don't go full hog on this remedy because i don't think it's available in texas versus united states or texas versus azar, whatever they're calling it nowadays, right. why? no one in the texas case challenged the tax cut. courts don't have the sort of red pencil they can strike out any provision of the u.s. code they want. they're a limited menu of options available in the fifth circuit and i don't think one of those options is killing the tax cut. now in maryland, the attorney general of maryland, tom goldstein, actually he's not but he is the de facto a.g. filed a lawsuit challenging the tax cut. now that's a funny question about standing. they could challenge a tax cut, right. they're removing a penalty from you. it goes back to the debate. i think

and the key here what makes this so interesting is that the chief justice of the united states john roberts joined the courts four liberal judges voting for the stay. so, does this signal which kind of a left ward shift for the chief justice? how will the president who's been critical of roberts in the past respond though this? >>> plus, just hours from now the acting attorney general matthew whitaker will appear before the house judiciary committee? how much will he say and what will house democrats do to try to force him to talk? whitaker had refused to appear until democrats promised not to issue a subpoena during the actual hearing. >>> also this morning, kellyanne conway saying a woman assaulted her physically in front of conway's child and other children. she says it happened this past october. the woman we've learned has been charged, though denies the allegations. the alleged assault happening just days after the polarizing confirmation hearings for supreme court justice brett kavanaugh. >>> and then there is the explosive blog post from amazon founder jeff bezos in which he accuses

if you look at john roberts' reporting here.president wanted 5.7 billion for border security in the southwest, the easy money could total up to $4 1/2 million. that gets you very close. and he could frame it that way while the remainder of the funds remain locked up in litigation. there is a lot right now that you could access apparently according to our reporting so far. >> yeah. when john was going through that, bill, the thing that occurred to me was i was thinking about when president obama, as part of the iran deal, made the payment to iran that resulted in the release of the hostages and i can't remember how many, i think it was two or three billion were involved. they managed to find it. i think it was the judgment fund which is kind of a slush fund of money that is available for various things that they are able to tap. it just occurred to me as he was running through these different pots of money you just talked about how much easier it is to do this when you go about it quietly. and i think part of the reason that pres

justice ruth bader ginsburg will not be among them.chief justice john roberts and justice elena kagan are expected to join trump nominees brett kavanaugh and neil gorsuch in the house chamber on tuesday.justices typically attend state of the union speeches given by the president who nominated them. roberts and kagan have never missed the state of the union address since they've been on the court.the 85-year-old ginsburg is recovering from cancer surgery in december. she made her first public appearance since the surgery on monday at a concert given by her daughter-in-law in washington, d.c. ginsburg did not attend trump's speech last year, either.the bitter partisanship of the past two years is on full display hours before president donald trump is expected to call for optimism and unity in his state of the union address. senate minority leader chuck schumer said tuesday that the president talks about unity in his annual addresses to the nation but "spends the other 364 days of the year dividing us."trump responded that schumer was "just upset that he didn't win the senate, after spen

that's what we are looking at now. >> tlts a lot being made of the fact that chief justice john robertsside with the liberals here. the case is being made. that's not really about the merits of the law. in fact, it's more about procedure and precedent for chief justice roberts. >> yes. i'm sorry. i was listening to her so carefully i lost my concentration. roberts said let's just wait to hear the case on the merits. we are not going to change abortion law just on this procedural ruling. the other four justice, the more conservative justices said, no, let's let this law go into effect. what's most interesting about the four dissenters, the conservatives, is it includes brett kavanaugh. brett kavanaugh during his confirmation hearings, susan collins put a lot of weight on this in deciding to vote for him, he said he respected precedent and the implication was he respected roe v. wade. the vote yesterday is a strong indication, i think, that kavanaugh will vote against roe v. wade, against abortion rights and so the replacement of kavanaugh for kennedy means the end of abortion rights. >>
