mulvaney moved on to be the president's acting chief of staff. but i've written to mr. mulvaney to inform him while his time running the consumer bureau may be over, the time for accountability for his actions is about to begin. this congress -- [ applause ] this congress, i'm going to be working diligently to undo the damage that mulvaney has brought during his time at the consume r bureau. i have a bill, the consumers first act that reverses many of the known armful actions which i will soon be re-introducing, but it's not just mick mull vaughny who i will be paying attention to. i will be keeping a watchful eye on all of sure they are carrying out their duties, including holding bad actors accountable and promoting financial stability. as we saw during the 2008 financial crisis, large wall street banks that aren't subject to strong oversight and safeguards to protect our economy can do a lot of damage. and so in dodd/frank, we put in place robust reforms for our largest and most complex financial institutions, including increased capital, reduced leverage, improved l

during his tenure, mick mulvaney also worked tirelessly to erode the agency from within, including his decision to strip power away from the office that protects communities of color against lending discrimination. it is crystal clear that house democrats will need bold and decisive leadership if they want to repair all the damage that we've seen over the last several years. fortunately, i can think of no one more able, no more dynamic leader, no more fearless leader, in america today, than the new chairwoman of the house financial services committee and our special guest for this morning, representative maxine waters. congresswoman waters has stood as one of the most frprominent voices looking to hold donald trump accountable.

if mick mulvaney were president, we could have solved it.it was in 2013 for us, we have people of good will and intelligence and thoughtfulness who actually can negotiate all these things very easily, but then the outside world intervenes and again it's not just president trump or nancy pelosi. it's also, you know, the right wing media, left wing organizations. we have so many outside pressure that make it very, very difficult for us to come to a logical compromise, and then sell it, and i don't know the answer to that, but we could have gotten it done this weekend. >> let me ask you both quickly. is the government going to shut down this week? congressman graves? >> no reason for it to. speaker pelosi has the ability to pass a funding bill that can get to the president for his signature. there should be no reason whatsoever. >> do you agree, congressman yarmuth? >> i agree with tom. yes. >> thank you so much. more round table up next. we'll be right back. yes. >> thank you so much. more round table up next. we'll be right back. >>> our econ

mick mulvaney talked about it yesterday. they have identified north of $5.7 billion that they believe they can use for the wall. it's in different pots of money. some of those pots of money require different authorizations to use. there's an escalating risk of ending up in court. mulvaney said that they may go that direction. listen here. >> there's certain funds of money he can get tout without declaring a national emergency and other funds he can get to after declaring a national emergency. >> how can he get without a national emergency? >> the whole pot is well north of $5.7 billion. >> well north of 5.7. it's more about the $7 billion mark. mulvaney says the president doesn't want to declare an emergency. if the congress comes up with nothing, he may be forced to. >> shepard: thanks, john roberts. to capitol hill now. mike emanuel is there this afternoon. a critical meeting this hour, right? >> that's right, shep. the top appropriations people here trying to get things back on track. the spending people in the capitol ar

as far as what might actually happen beyond the messaging, the acting chief of staff, mick mulvaney, was on one of the sunday morning talk shows and says the possibilities are still very broad. we could see another government shutdown. we may potentially see a deal. or executive action to get the president the funding he wants on his long-promised border wall. listen now to mick mulvaney. >> we cannot definitively rule out a government shutdown at the end of this week? >> you absolutely cannot, and here's why. let's say for the sake of this discussion the democrats prevail. it was a democratic congresswoman who put out a tweet yesterday about zero dollars for dhs. let's say the horardcore wing o the democratic party prevails and say $800 million more the wall. some absurdly low number. he cannot in good faith sign that. >> reporter: if talks ultimately go nowhere, an aide has said house democrats are prepared to fund a bill to keep dhs open through september. it's unclear, there's no indication senate republicans would take that up and put it on the president's desk. >> all right. bo

(as trump ): "why'd you let me say i would take credit for the shutdown, mick? it's your job to stop me. when you see me start to talk, you dive in and fill the word-hole with the most beautiful slice of chocolate cake!"

i was talking to mulvaney before he went on "meet the press." he does not appear confident at all that there is not going to be another government shutdown. >> reporter: yeah, going into the weekend, the negotiations have been proceeding smoothly. they're making progress on the issues of the barrier and the wall or what it would look like and where it may go. the issue of detention beds on i.c.e. really trip things up. they're restarting the discussion. democrats want to limit the number of detention beds available to i.c.e. to 16,000. cutting more from in half. this would force i.c.e. to prioritize the people they pick up and detained and in the process of deporting just to serve the worse of the worse. not people who are merely picked up for illegal entry. republicans hate this idea and it is causing them to be quite dug in both sides after what sounded like some of the hardest issues around the border barrier were already dealt with. >> to have this come up at the 11th hour makes it significantly difficult to come to an agreement here. the co

>> i mean, you know, you heard what mick mulvaney said. i think you have to, you know, believe that if this president is willing to push beyond the normal boundaries of political dec decorum that we'd all grown used to for some time. we just finished a 35-day shutdown. that's the longest that's ever happened in the country. if i were a betting person, i wouldn't bet that the person is going to 100% sign whatever is put in front of him, but i think as julian just said, the pressure really, really did mount on the republican party, on the president and his republican allies in congress, and i think that they are still feeling the pain of that in congress. i think there's going to be a lot of pressure on the president as this deadline comes near. >> the president heading to texas tomorrow, using the border as a backdrop for him to continue to argue that a wall is necessary. why, julian, will this trip be any different from the trip he made just a few weeks ago? >> it won't be any different. we're replaying the same strategy over and over. thi

acting white house chief of staff mick mulvaney saying don't worry about it.says if you're a conservative that was mad at obama, well, spending a lot of money, you don't care now that president trump is in office, you're kind of doing whole thing wrong. joining me campus director for campusreform.org, cabot phillips the trajectory of our debt went pair -- parabolic. it is still going parabolic but no one is saying anything. >> if republicans claim to the be party of fiscal responsibility and conservativism and attack president obama for eight years, nine trillion dollars, it is hypocritical for them not to care that president trump is in office and the same debt cycle is continuing. for every man, woman and child in this country, $66,000 of debt per person. for all the talk of millenials out of control spending we're the ones that will have to shoulder this weight, deal with ramification of out of control spending for older generations. this should be concerning to every american, especially to republicans and conservatives, we're the side that says we're on t

mick mulvaney told fox business, two billion or five billion.ddle. president will get money someplace else. do you see it that way? >> i see it that way. there are pots of dollars proposed. using asset forfeiture fund, money taken from cartels. they attempt to move out of our country $5 billion a year. five billion has a nice ring to it. take some of the money, add it to that which is appropriated, build that much barrier. not the taxpayer, not mexican government, mexican cartel is paying. there is poetic justice with that. stuart: president goes to el paso, texas, tonight. i think he is barnstorming for the wall. >> he is is. we made a commitment to improving barriers. this commitment funded under obama administration. that barriers work. everyone knows they work. the left knows they work. they don't want to concede the point. stuart: is there a crisis on the border? >> 2,000 people a day. you start wondering what the problem is. 2,000 people a day of course will bring more people to the border. so i think the president is right to say it has t

this was his acting chief of staff, nick mulvaney on sunday.he president recognize congress has a legitimate oversight role in addition to its legislative role and it's an aggressive legislative role? >> he's saying, look, you have a choice, we can work together on legislation or spend all your time doing investigations. it's not reasonable to do both. not reasonable to expect the president to work with you monday on a big infrastructure bill and tuesday have them punch you in the face. >> perhaps you should visit the republican house under president obama. the president's claims says it is tantamount to harassment. and rich burr said his committee so far could not conclude there was any collusion between the trump campaign and russia. during the trump conversation, former assistant attorney general, during the obama administration, elliot williams and national reporter, mike. i want to start with you since you were there for a lot of this, there were plenty of investigations of president obama, or at least his administration while he was also
