the power of prevention. call now to learn more.: tonight as a fourth caravan is prefiring storm our border. the president is double down on an executive order to deny citizenship to children born to illegal aliens. these words, they believe give them cover because of the quote subject to the jurisdiction thereof issue. they say the children of illegal immigrants are not subject to our federal government's jurisdiction. not so fast. you see, everyone that steps into our country is kind of subject to our jurisdiction, right? except those who have diplomatic immunity. i argued it's because of this federal jurisdiction that the democratic mayors are totally wrong to harbor illegals in their so-called sanctuary cities. watch. >> i want to be clear. we are going to stay a sanctuary city. you are welcome in chicago as you pursue the american dream. >> if they are a law-abiding person or have don't minor things even people we know might have done, we can't see them deported and families torn apart. >> we'll continue to be a place of refuge

confirmed a few weeks ago who are willing to do that and only the court can protect the separation of powers and prevent the continuous delegation of authority to the executive. when you think of it, the more legislative authority, the executive gets, more discretion the executive agencies get, the more it is that they are making law almost by definition and that is exactly the horror show if i can put it that way that the framers were intending to prevent by the separation of powers in the constitution. this is an unavoidable question. if the courts continue to avoid it and say this is too complicated for us, not something we want to get into they don't have the fortitude, we are going to have a situation in the future where most legislative authority of the united states has been transferred, delegated by congress to the executive branch. we might like with the executive branch does, all of us in this room in each individual case, the american people have not done that. they have not approved it. as a result we risk the possibility as i said at the beginning the we have a government that is out of con

of isolation. >> would you say that fdr was more concerned with traditional power politics of preventing germany that wilson was? >> i was say that he was not really a traditionalist. he was close to that because he was a bit more hard-nosed. here again, the carl example was theodore roosevelt, who really did see the united states and more of a traditional power who after all, oversaw u.s. expansion and sending troops to people like you and the dominican republic, and semi-protected over panama to ensure the security of the panama canal. but the united states was effectively behaving as an imperialistic power like the others. pr said very clearly that united states would've gone and were immediately on the side of britain and france not because of some moral argument related to german war or a christian or violation of belgian, but rather because it was in the interest of the united states to ensure the balance of power on the continent and being in the more traditional british offshore power balancing. to some extent, you can say by trying to eliminate [ null ] germany and japan as the regional

dissolution of parliament by the president but the problem being that the nineteenth amendment to the constitution brought in by a mighty policy within himself once he came to power. expressly prevents the dissolution of parliament less than four and a half years into it and we are a few months short of that so on the face of it it is in violation of the constitution some of. my goodness so much going on thank you for the update man elson and is on the line from columbus. let's move to other news the u.s. president has signed a proclamation that would effectively deny asylum to any migrant who crosses the southern border illegally the changes close the option of asylum to those who donated to the country at one of its official ports of entry until now asylum seekers have been entitled to a hearing in the u.s. regardless of how they arrived i just signed. a proclamation asylum very important people can come in but they have to come in through the ports of entry. that would be is a very important thing is going to how could i white house correspondent i described this earlier kimberly as donald trump putting words into actions he made sure immigration was a big part of the midterms an

powerful. it would codify department of justice regulations that prevent the removal of a special counsel without good cause. independence is required to ensure a special counsel can do his or her job and find the facts. our bipartisan bill would put this restriction in statute and give the special counsel a clear legal remedy. if removed without cause, the special counsel would have a ten-day period to take the case to a three-judge panel for expedited consideration. if the special counsel doesn't wish to contest his removal, it would proceed without interference. both republicans and democrats recognize removal of the current special counsel without a valid basis would be a significant, even catastrophic event. it would be a constitutional crisis that would threaten the presidency and the rule of law. we can work together to prevent a crisis. president trump should be the first person to support this bill. he has raised concerns about oversight of the special counsel. he has accused the prosecutors of making partisan politically motivated decisions. but this act would ensure that regulations pr

i've never heard in my life the president saying i'm going to use the subpoena power of one branch of the u.s. congress to preventer one of doing their job of oversight. heidi? >> oh, well it would be a test, chris, for congressional leaders. because clearly the house has showed they're willing to play ball and it's led to a deterioration of bipartisanship there. in the and senate we have not seen that. this would be a test for leaders. the president will also make good on leaning on senate leadership and senate committee chairs. but just like he doesn't control the house, he doesn't control the justice department. he shouldn't control the just department, and he doesn't control the senate. >> het me ask you, you had some news. >> that's right, chris. i was just communicating with senator blumenthal, and since may senator bloomen thaul has been working on a break the glass option to try and protect mueller's work. as crow know senate majority leader mitch mcconnell has refused to move legislation to protect mueller that was moved out on a bipartisan basis from the judiciary committee. this is a break the glass op

of power, what you find is a fascinating thing. the multiplicity of governments in a diverse system of states, nations, independent nations, the only way to have freedom in the system is to prevent any one power from growing so strong it can impose the law on all the other powers. the classic theorist of early modern freedom in the international arena, his view is precisely the opposite of what administrations have been pursuing for a generation. his view is the only way to prevent tierney from developing in the system is to make sure no state, no power, no system of law is sufficiently strong so it can be imposed on everyone. that is stated in the negative. we can also state in the positive the competition among nations in early modern europe brought most of the good things we associate with the modern world. the competition among nations gave us the ideals of limited government, the balance of power, the concern individual liberties, the free market. all of these things politically, economically, all of them arise in nationstates, holland, england, scotland, the united states, they are part of the competition among independent national states doing its own experiments, what it

to skate in the truth in terms of the legality of preventing hospital from testifying i mean does the senate have the power to actually subpoena her and override the white house. well that's a question for a former colleague of mine who would have been in the general counsel's office or rather than i i tried to avoid the lawyers of as much as possible however i think that the answer clearly is yes that congress has the right to subpoena. the cia director or anyone i think other than possibly the president which is under some. discussion or dispute so that the congress can conduct its legally mandated and obligatory oversight function of the intelligence community so i think the answer is that they could do so yes just a final thought from you again i mean the head of the cia as we know is a white house appointee but it is quite surprising that the white house can guide the merits of in this way but is this very much about trump trying to silence his intelligence community when he doesn't like the intelligence well clearly clearly it's not just the intelligence community the trump doesn't like although he c
