driven by a white house that has made this a hot button political issue" presidential advisor kellyanne conwayhe president's speech will focus on policies over bitter politics. conway: i think its also an address that celebrates so many accomplishments for the united states of america that he would like to highlight as the leader of our nation.i don't think the american people nor i want to go through two years of partisan bickeringwith a divided congress, senator shelley moore capito says she believes the president will adopt a positive tone and provide a bi-partisan path forward."to achieve some goals like infrastructure, like immigration reform, like some of the improvements on opioids and the healthcare issues. after the president's speech democrats selected former georgia gubernatorial candidate stacey abrams to deliver a response... ( james ) that was brie jackson reporting. some democrats say they've invited people negatively impacted by the administration policies including transgender servicemembers and families separated at the border.

steve: kelly can -- kellyanne conway joins us now, counselor to the president.c.e. beds. if you reduce the number of i.c.e. beds, there has to abed for every person detained, essentially the democrats are telling the federal government how many people they can arrest, right? >> that is choose. randomly choosing who should be caught and released into the interior of the u.s. who should remain there while their claims of asylum are being processed. mexico has also offered a safe third option where you can remain in mexico, have a work visa, have humanitarian needs, met while your claims of asylum are being processed on this side of the border. to defund i.c.e., abolishing i.c.e. as many prominent and big-mouth democrats are asking for these days would be devastating to the effort to keep us all safe. i'm glad you mentioned that. the president is not part of these negotiations. he is waiting for a bill to come to his desk he can sign into law. you have the conferees, bipartisan conferees arguing about beds and barriers. people should know, especially the people who

i was speaking to kellyanne conway and had a chance to ask her, how concerned they were.ouse want the focus to be on his nuclear summit with kim jong-un. that will be taking place overnight in the united states. during the day, one of the days, we'll be hearing from michael cohen the while he's testifying three times, two times behind closed doors, once is in a public hearing before the house overnight committee. we'll see that play out. kellyanne conway to decide on networks to take a split screen. the summit itself will be overnight. the hearing will be during the day in the united states. >> neil: all of this comes amid reports that the mueller investigation is close to being wrapped up. there were reports it was going to be as soon as next week we might get a preliminary report. i don't know how they do this. now that was shelved. what are you hearing? >> if that report were to come out, that's another item that the. would be getting asked about again during the summit and potentially have a chance to overshadow what he wants the focus to be on. speaking to the summit

counselor kellyanne conway saying it's time for democrats to and the resistance politics. >> anybodyho is sitting there with her arms folded looking like they sucked on lemons, that's on them, not him. he's calling for unity. he's calling for working together. they are going to need to decide if they are serious about that as well. he is wanting the legislature to do its job, they have failed to do it for a matter of years if not decades. >> jesse: the call to come together is not stopping democrats from firing shots before the president even hits the podium, like party leader, democrat chuck schumer. >> the president will say predictably that the state of our union is strong. but the truth is, the state of the trump economy is failing america's middle class. the state of the trump health care system is failing american families. these date of the trump administration is embroiled in chaos and incompetence. the gap between the presidents rhetoric and the state of the union and reality is cavernous. the blatant hypocrisy him on this president calling for unity is that he's one of the

in fact, i steve bannon and kellyanne conway the night of the inauguration.talked on the dias after his speech. i said let's do infrastructure and get together on this stuff and be important. it goes well beyond that. there was an article in "washington post" about 5g. this is the leadership that we need from the white house on how we grow -- >> neil: the president is addressing those issues in the trade talks with china. you're not lumping this on him. last time i checked, the economy is doing pretty well. i understand in your district and some of the concerns about that, but by and large, we're at a record low unemployment, 300,000 jobs in the last period, wages going up better than 3% for four months in a row. that is a pretty good direction, right? >> well, neil, i would say, i think the old metrics aren't applicable to what is happening in the world today. there's so many communities in america that are being left behind. >> neil: so those particular metrics, congressman, are better than they were under barack obama. just as an example. so were they okay

top adviser kellyanne conway seized upon that today. listen to what she had to say to democrats. >> the president is not part of the negotiations. he's waiting for a bill to come to his desk that he can sign into law, and you now have the bipartisan people arguing over beds and barriers. we want more beds. they want fewer because they want more people to come into the united states of america. >> this is what president trump said on twitter. the democrats do not want us to detain or send back criminal aliens. this is a brand new demand. crazy. really, trying to get the democrats to own this latest sticking point. now, of course, you talked about the fact that there are going to be protesters here and a big counterrally. it is going to be a pretty remarkable split screen. o'roarke is going to be headlining that other rally. he's the former congressman here. he failed in his bid to take on ted cruz. and now he's mulling a potential 2020 bid. his message tonight, he's going to be holding a march before hand. he said it's going to be a peac

black face or dressed in a kkk robe he should resign immediately and the white house council kellyanne conway sees shades at kavanaugh hearing yearbooks yeas were used to try to book up unproven accusations she queated this is should be easier warning than parsing every word and semicolon in the kavanaugh yearbook. turning up the heat on the governor already feeling plenty after support failing measure that would have permitted what a lot of critics define as infanticide. >> if a mother is in labor i can tell you exactly what would happen. the infant would be delivered. the infant would be kept comfortable. the infant would be resuscitated if that's what the mother and family desired and then a discussion would ensue. >> northam ran a primary against tom and competitive general election against republican ed gillespie. this is the first time this yearbook page has surfaced in public. >> bret: you see online on of these people who cover politics boy it's hard to believe that either in the primary or the general election these things weren't picked up. each one of these teams has oppo research

and kellyanne conway earlier today seeming to indicate that he would talk about ways to combat hiv/aids. of course the big issue looming all of this, what will be front and center, immigration and the border wall. the issue that caused the government to shut down for 35 days, the issue that delayed this speech in the first place. a lot of questions about whether the president will declare a national emergency tonight. i asked kellyanne conway about that earlier. >> reporter: is there any chance the president will declare a national emergency tonight? >> president has said he can do that, he has an absolute right to do it. >> reporter: will he do it tonight? >> he's never wanted to -- he's never wanted to -- to do that. he wants congress to finish its work. >> seeming to indicate, andrea, he's not leaning in that direction. of course a lot of republican allies are trying to urge him not to do that. of course we'll all be watching the politics and the optics, the fact that house speaker nancy pelosi will be sitting behind him, a sea of democrats in front of him, andrea. >> and robert cost

. >> harris: kellyanne conway, the senior advisor to the president, special advisor to the president,alked about amy klobuchar this way earlier. let's watch it. >> what happened this weekend is equally unimpressive. amy klobuchar, seems to be a very nice person -- i guess, unless you were on her staff. she's had terrible articles about the way she treats them. i've always known her to be minnesota nice. but you can change the h a o and get "o my" instead of amy there because i don't think that was very impressive rollout. >> harris: your comment about the president was kind of answered in kellyanne conway. we will move on. who is the democratic front runner to you among the people who have thrown their hats into the ring so far? >> oh, my gosh, no one. >> harris: [laughs] oh, boy, you are so honest! >> it's pretty much an even slate. obviously, kamala harris had the most impressive rollout. but rollouts are so overrated. >> harris: are they? >> no one is going to remember. come november when it really starts heating up, no one is going to remember who had the best opening statements.

kellyanne conway says this is much ado about nothing.ferent meetings he's having, extending meetings that go longer. people -- i think if you're always going to be presumptively negative, you'll read into that whatever you want. as you see, he's a very active president, and the results speak for themselves. whoever leaked it doesn't know what he's doing in that block of time. that's pretty obvious. i'm told 388 people have access to that broader schedule. but very few have access to the other schedule. >> are you going to investigate? >> joining us now is cnn chief white house correspondent jim acosta. what other schedule is kellyanne conway referring to? >> apparently, this does exist. i talked to a white house official who said, yes, there is another schedule that is known to a smaller circle of aides to the president, and it includes things that may not show up in the schedules, for example, this evening, the president had this unscheduled dinner, it wasn't on the public schedule, with the fed chair, jerome powell. so, there are thing

kellyanne conway, at the top of the yard. and news of the day that is making headlines over time.elissa: good stuff, thank you. the 2020 democratic presidential field continues to grow. hawaii congresswoman tulsi gabbard if it truly official tr out into the ring this week and after cory booker's announcement of his candidacy. in massachusetts senator elizabeth warren has teased a big announcement for later this week. she is expected to formally announced her candidacy for president. in the meantime, president trump weighing in on his political challengers, including cory booker. listen to this. >> cory booker announced today that he is also running. there are a lot of democrats. >> he's got no chance. >> why? >> because i know him. i don't think he has a chance. >> who has a chance? >> so far i don't see anybody. i'm not impressed with their group. >> capri, i will ask you from democrat excited. he dismisses cory booker. there was democratic strategist who worked for him who use the word "lazy" to describe them on the campaign trail. >> capri: that's not a good sign. >> he was fru
