do republicans believe that? not most of them. but this man, mulvaney, not elected, puts ideas in president trump's held, and that's what president trump does. so make no mistake about it. the ultimate respondent is presidenty trump's -- responsibility is president trump's. but when you wonder why the words the president says so tiff from so many administration if policies and it's the policies that are hurting american, the reason is mulvaney. here's what the mull vanny administration looks like, extreme budget cuts, cuts to the department of education, transportation and science. severe cuts. epa.e cuts to cuts to t programs that are most in need, suspect new mexico a.p -- s.n.a.p., cutting medicare faster. and repeated government shutdowns. yesterday it was reported the administration is considering no more fannie and freddie, no more help for the middle class to buy a home. another great mulvaney idea. mick mulvaney was one of the five most hard-right people in the house of representatives, one of the authors of the previousfi

republicans also have a problem in some of those suburbs of detroit where republican members, long-timeose sort of suburban areas in wayne county, oakland county, lost in 2018 to democrats. those districts have been in republican hands for a long time. he didn't win those counties in 2016, trump didn't, but he needs to sort of the maintain almost parody with where he was in 2016. so that's a different message to the suburbs where technology, health care, those are the big industries, not sort of manufacturing the way that he is sort of talking about in grand rapids. >> most presidencies, most white houses are pretty disciplined about not just campaigning towards the end, not just doing the rallies at the end but in crafting a message from day one. from the minute you get into the oval office, trying to craft a message that appeals to a broader base, right? yes, you need to tend to your base. barack obama went and spoke to places where liberals were, but that you try to craft policies that broaden that, that speak to those moderate republicans in the suburbs, for example. trump has done

the republicans. when both of the parties work together, we can get great results. now the democrats are talking about business issues. more than 90% with the chamber of commerce. i wish i would have had democrats like that around. now, just to show you, eight democrats have voted for it willental protection reduce greenhouse gases. now they are going all out. now, there are eight republicans voting for this. think about that change. now, governor brown has eight. now republicans are talking about immigration reform and all kinds of issues. this is what i care about. it is a more functional government. this is why we have become a model for the rest of the nation. this is why ohio did it. the governor is a good friend of mine. very successful reform there. colorado also passed it. when you put it on the ballot, people immediately vote for it because it is a no-brainer. it is unacceptable what is going on right now with gerrymandering. about one party or the other. but the politicians, democrats and re

a republican. hi, don.aller: i would like to say who are these republicans that are turncoats and not following the president of the united states to secure our borders? toshould have term limits get rid of those people in the swamp. thank you. host: did you hear the list when cohen? talking to zach let's go through it. susan collins of maine, lisa murkowski of alaska. kentucky.of thom tillis of north carolina. and he mentioned a fifth, mike lee of utah. all five have said they would vote to terminate the president's national emergency declaration. robert in michigan, republican. you are next. wantr: if congress doesn't to appropriate the money for the wall and trump is trying to get it other ways and they say he is going against constitutional rights, what do they expect to do, just let mexico keep pouring into the united states? my daughter is a nurse and they had to hire a spanish-speaking nurse for when they come in the hospital. how can these people come into this country and get a job when they cannot

was inesident obama office, republicans were energized. now parties are switched so democrats are energized. the democrats thought they would ,ick up 10 to 12 seats governors states, we were able to pick up key states like florida, ohio, georgia, new hampshire, and iowa. those are key states as well for president trump's reelection. we have to go out there and work hard. if you look at what larry hogan did in maryland, not a red state, he was able to win a majority of women because things listened,h how he have needed different focus groups to understand what we were thinking, and targeted his message about what he was doing in his administration to win that the. ron desantis did similar things in florida. that is a thing we have to think about. we need to tailor our message for different groups that we want to win over, whether women or minorities, and we have to go places where we traditionally have not been going. that is on us to accomplish that. that is the lesson looking to future elections and changing demographics, we as republican

what will be the reaction of the congressional republicans and his base. well his base in the congressional republicans will look at that pardon as part of trump saying oh it's all a witch hunt it's all fake it's all phony but the reality is i think he'll pay a price more broadly because he's not just releasing the guy who was his campaign manager he's releasing a guy who has been convicted and is now admitted to a number of these charges that he has gone out and committed both perjury and fraud and he's also violated the foreign agents for inspiration act a whole host of other things that is going to get banged on conspiracy as well so you've got to you have the president setting free a guy who is an admitted criminal you have a president sitting free a guy who is who is by no means a model of the community or a model citizen who has worked for some of the worst folks in the world i think it's a net negative for the president to pardon him who do you think in the trump world other than men of ford has to worry about men and force charges in new york well

bad for the republicans. he said we get along when it comes to this issue. when they hung up, i realized that they wanted to do something that was good for the politicians. didn't matter when it was for democrats and republicans. i was so inspired that i'm going to go all out and do everything i can to pass redistricting reform. the following year, we won, because i remember the press kept saying to me, and the people have said no over and over. and i said no. 700. nch press, and 500-pound bench press and tried it again and again and i said i will never give up. and eventually we did win. but that is the conversation when the democrats and republicans did go to bed together and it got really dangerous and said yes, this is a terrible idea and don't get involved. i'm very fortunate that i had so many people that helped us that raised the money to go out and communicate well and get it done. mr. holder: the point that the governor makes is very important. there have been instances where republicans have tried t

he is at 90% approval with republicans back home. you are taking a risk if you vote against the president. you have a lot of senate republicans who consider this emergency declaration to be either constitutionally questionable or unconstitutional. it is going to be a gut check. host: are we on track for a thursday vote? >> with the senate -- guest: with the senate it could happen at any time. it could be a get out of town vote. next week is the recess for st. patrick's day. i think it is likely to be at the end of the week. the: is there a number that white house is working to avoid hitting when it comes to the number of republicans who join in? guest: they would love for it to not pass. we are past that point at this point. we have four republicans on the record, st was saying, saying they will not vote for this resolution. really it is to minimize the damage of the administration. people in the white house have been lobbying. , if notof capitol hill to persuade them, at least to gauge where they are at. what the president does not

the job of the rga is about electing republican governors. over the next four years, we will be focused on getting republican governors reelected. >> let's talk about races this year, three red states, louisiana, kentucky, mississippi. democrats have fielded good candidates in all of the states. the republicans candidates challenging him have not raised a ton of money, do you expect anybody else to get into that race? gov. ricketts: as far as the republican governors association, we want great strong candidates to run. we have two good candidates running right now, abraham who has a great reputation in his state, and the businessman who was not so well known. eddie was a member of the executive roundtable before he decided to run for governor, so i have had a chance to get to know him. i was a member of the rga going back to 2009. he is a great guy, integrity, he wants what is best for louisiana. we have two great candidates, if somebody else gets in, that is great too. this highlights what the rga does, we do not pick a person in a primary.

and how can republicans win them back in the future? gov. ricketts: despite the blue wave we saw, and we saw it in nebraska, a lot of democrats turned out that do not ordinarily turn out in an off year election. frankly that is typical for when , the party owns the white house. when president obama was in office, republicans were energized. now parties are switched so democrats are energized. frankly the democrats thought , they would pick up 10 to 12 seats, we were able to pick up key states like florida, ohio, georgia, new hampshire, and iowa. those are key states as well for president trump's reelection. it does mean that we as republicans, we have to go out there and work hard. if you look at what larry hogan did in maryland, not a red state, he was able to win a majority of women because things he did with how he listened, how he did different focus groups to understand what we were thinking, and targeted his message about what he was doing in his administration to win that vote. ron desantis did similar things in florida. that is

democrats will always be democrats and republicans will always read republicans -- will always be republicans. but now we crossed the aisle and get things done together because we know that only when both parties work together can we get really great results. now, the democrats are talking issues,sues -- business they are voting more than 90% with the chamber of commerce in california. the would of never heard that before. heard would have never that before. just to show to you, now, eight democrats have voted for the , wheremental protection we reduce greenhouse gases to 25%, now they will go all out and extended to 2040. now, governor brown had eight republicans vote for that, think about how that changed. i only had one republican vote for my environmental reforms. now, governor brown had eight. this is how much it has changed. now republicans talk about immigration reform and all kinds of issues that are much more to the center. about, ahat i care more functional government. this is why we have become a model for the rest of the nation, this is why other states were interested, this is wh

i'll speak with republican congressman jim banks. we'll have full coverage of the day's top stories. >>> first, let's go straight to our chief white house correspondent, jim acosta. the senate vote was a republican smackdown against the president but he is getting ready to hit back. >> reporter: he is, wolf. he is set to use his veto power for the first time. the president is making it clear he will veto that measure. for a president who has successfully kept his party in line, this was a surprising defection. it was latest sign of cracks in the president's wall. >> the joint resolution is passed. >> reporter: after gop lawmakers side with democrats. president trump tweeted "veto." >> i'll probably have to veto. it won't be overturned. it's very important. it's really a border security vote. it's bureau poo you are and simple. it's a vote for border security. it's a vote for no crime. >> reporter: even though there aren't enough votes to override a veto, they've been lobbying wayward republicans for days. the southern border is a nat

republican-three winning races. these are going to be states trumpot -- where donald of the white house will be happy to send him because they know he will get large crowds. tough in kentucky, a challenge to mitch mcconnell, but he easily won six euros ago. he is facing a tough challenge next year though. reid: there are a few candidates that might jump into that race against mitch mcconnell. we expected it to be a close race four and half years ago now, but mitch mcconnell won by 18 points. he knows how to win that state, despite the fact his approval numbers are not good. that is going to be another $100 million senate race. the state of kentucky -- they are probably already getting television advertising. steve: do either of you have numbers on how much the rga will spend her has raised? daniel: i do not. the rga regularly out spans and out raises the dga. in the aftermath of 2018, the dga has taken steps to close that gap. they elevated the new executive director, the finance tractor for the committee -- the fin

and the republicans are actually taking part in it so stay tuned to watch the whole. during the great depression which i'm old enough to remember there was most of my family were employed. there wasn't it was bed you know much worse objectively than today but there was an expectation that things were going to get better. there was a real sense of hopefulness there isn't today today's america where shade by the turn principles of concentration of wealth and power. reduced democracy at tax solidarity engineer elections manufacture consent and other principle holds according to no i'm chomsky one set of rules for the rich opposite set of rules for . that's what happens when you put her into the hands of a narrow sector of will switch will is dedicated to increasing power for chills just as you'd expect one of the most influential intellectuals of our time speaks about the modern civilization of america. will make its manufacture consent instead of public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the fine and merry go round lifts only the one percent. nor m

unfortunately, it was blocked in the senate by a single republican. but mark my words, that resolution will be back and we will try to pass it again. now, it shouldn't be so unusual for members of the president's own party to stand with us and hold him to account when he does wrong, especially a president who so overreaches, but i'm thankful that republican senators did the right thing. i applaud them for it. let's hope that these votes this week are green chutes. republicans out of courage, out of principle, and maybe out of exasperation are beginning to constrain the president when he goes too far. that republicans are learning that total embrace of president trump is counterproductive and unsustainable. my hope is that this past week isn't an aberration but a turning point. my hope is that republicans now see how this president is trampling on the constitution and understand that it is possible, in fact courageous, to stand up to him and say that there will be consequences for his actions. the president seems to regard the government, not just the

you contrast that to our republican colleagues. last congress there was no hearing on climate change and their efforts on health care, which is to repeal the affordable care act, and tually take away protections away from people with pre-existing conditions. i am confident we will be able to deliver. >> let me follow-up quickly and say growing pains is one thing, but it is a few steps away from a party in disarray. we saw a lot of this over the last several years on the republican side of the aisle. can you give us more concrete steps on how leadership is preparing to prevent that kind of fallout on your side on some of these big ticket items? > when you look at the big ticket items over the last eight years, and the dysfunction that was caused by the freedom caucus, we saw vote after vote where both speaker ryan and boehner did not have the votes to move big ticket items across the line. look at the shutdown in the last congress. look at funding the federal government in congress after congress, while they were in charge. the firs

>> reporter: sure, healthcare is a tricky issue despite republicans coming out saying yesterday is republicanis own justice department and according to reports despite criticisms and from his own attorney general barr who didn't want to move forward with this, the justice department anyway decided to try to undo the entire law. this is going to take months in the court so republicans want to come one a new healthcare plan. they don't have a lot of time. they tried to undeal, undo obamacare two years ago when they had control of both the house and the senate. they don't have that anymore. so coming up with a new healthcare plan is going to be a major uphill battle heading into 2020. >> all right. leigm anne caldwell. thank you. >>> all right, president trump says the mueller report quote could not have been better. the first poll came out shows almost no clang to his approval rating. the morning consol politico survey conducted monday and tuesday found 55% disapprove of the president's job performance, while 42 approve. a negative 13 point rating identical to the rating he had in last week's p

is the republican party now cracking across the board? i may saythat was a great scoop, because you had the transcript of the interchange between cheney and pence. and here itas just so clear. cheney is pushing, pushi. he finally says your foreign policy is like barack obama's. i mean,ut talk a a kick to the privates. [laughter] >> that is it. and so this is a b issue, foreign policy, the theory of it. more impor the practice. i think the sittion in north korea is dangerous. kim jong-un stiffed president bush -- president trump. i mean, he just said, no, we're not gonna d this. and trump pulled ay, somewhat gracefully, but he's not -- he doeseit like stiffed. and so you got a situation that i would keep on the frontyo of mind. >> but cheney, what's interesting there is he said shat so many have whispered, which is that been the dirty little secret of that of president trump's policies, i'r th the same as the obama policies, particularly the isis campaign bng one of them. it was interesting to have him sort o be confrontational on that. we

susan collins of maine is the lead republican sponsor of the senate version. lisa murkowski of alaska, tom tillis of north carolina, and rand paul of kentucky are already on board. we expect if push comes to shove and there has to be an up or down vote on that resolution as it is, there are several other republican senators who have been waiting to see what the department of defense wants to reprogram where military housing or construction projects or whatever, what they take the money away from to build the border wall. if the vote occurs before any of that information is public, it probably becomes a more lopsided vote. >> you wrote about the majority leader, mitch mcconnell, his view on the emergency declaration itself. what has been his view of the resolution to end it, and how is he influencing other republicans? niels: senator mcconnell seems to be sort of keeping his powder dry in terms of the influence on other senators. mcconnell had said he would support the president's emergency declaration, but he has not exactly been very strident in his support f

side, is a republican. rod rosenstein, the deputy attorney general who appointed the special counsel, is a republican. bob mueller, who presided over the investigation into russia's interference with the election, is a republican. was this a vast right-wing, republican conspiracy? that perhaps is the question that lindsey graham should spend his time addressing. last question. eporter: [inaudible] mr. jeffries: it is a reasonable thing to make sure that if there are sources and methods that could potentially be disclosed in the mueller report, that those are redacted in the interest of national security. with respect to potential grand jury testimony, the standard has traditionally been that the presumption of secrecy can be overcome if there is a compelling public interest. in this case, with russia's attack on our democracy, and the potential cooperation with members of the trump campaign having been the subject of the investigation, there is certainly a compelling national interest. thank you.

with a republican nominee. well, senator mcconnell's dream came true when donald trump was elected president, and he turned around and nominated justice gorsuch who now serves on the supreme court to fill the scalia vacancy. that was the most extreme example that we have in the history of the united states senate of the defiance of tradition and precedent. a defiance by senator mcconnell with one goal in mind -- to make sure that the judicial branch of our government became a political branch of our government, to make sure that as many republican conservatives, some of the most extreme views, were appointed to the bench. that has been his goal, and he pursues that goal to this day. there are three nominations before us which amply demonstrate his efforts. when donald trump became president, senate republicans stopped their obstruction of judicial nominations and started moving nominations through at break-neck speed. during the last two years, republicans in the senate bragged about filling the courts with tru

the frustration on the republican side was that they water down the amendment. we're always stronger when we speak with one voice, but i think all americans are clear on this. we oppose anti-semitism. we have a clear problem on the democratic side. first time it happened, it was the republicans not having a vehicle just one motion to recommit. we brought it up and spoke with one voice. what happened again, this time the democrats didn't even ask congresswoman omar to apologize. their own members on the democratic side. elliott, their chairman, chairman engel, he was frustrated that they had to add more to the resolution to even get it to come to the floor. that's what they spent the entire week on. so yes, we are united and frustrated that the democratic party has taken over the socialist progressive wing on their side. yes ma'am. reporter: [indiscernible question] rep. mccarthy: i think it is more that we are stronger when we vote together. reporter: five period of time, you have been referring -- 48 he bump of -- for a period of time can we have referred to st

ten republicans to let's see democrats just as designed. 2018, north carolina democrats and republicanslit in votes but republicans got 77% of the seats. again, 10-3. look, no party has a monopoly on virtue over vice and democrats do it when they can. case in point, maryland's sixth. politicians pulled 66,000 republicans out of the district and replaced them with 24,000 democrats. the result was a misshapen absurdi absurdity. one judge called it a broken wing bird flying across the state. they wanted to be more likely to elect a democrat than a republican. yes, this was my intent. federal judges declared it uncontroversial just a day later. gerrymandering even frustrated the founders. reagan took up the cause. barack obama campaigned against it as well. there is a reason michael tomaski says if you ask a thousand close political observes to name one concrete fix, less partisan gerrymandering would top the poll. today the supreme court has the rare opportunity to restore needed sanity to our political system. redistricting is an issue that should be beyond right and left. it is about rig

>> republicans, so republicans, tracing this back to the 1960's, democrats were in office in the presidency. democrats primary minority concern was how to satisfy and mobilize african american civil rights movement. republicans began to identify in mexican-americans specifically a group that was disenchanted with their status within the democratic party, which seemed to be to some mexican-americans primarily concerned with black interests. so a number of prominent republicans from the southwest in the 1960's, barry goldwater, the arizona conservative, john tower, a republican senator from texas, and ronald reagan, made strong it feels to mexican-americans on the basis of his sense of racial victimization and that they have legitimate concerns around discrimination and inclusion in the democratic party and they offered, republicans did, a chance to hold out the prospect of a better deal from republicans. to some degree, putting african-americans in their place. by the time of richard nixon, republicans were in office when nixon was sworn in and nixon had to figure out what am i going to do f

a longtime leader in the republican party. is there may be a part of bipartisanship occurring that we just do not see? give us some insight on the relationship within the house of representatives in congress and also how you make efforts to get things done with your democrat colleagues. leader, i i became we both lead a tour to israel. i have taken 148 members to israel. [applause] republicans, three quarters have pledged to go this august. sydney and said democrats go one week, republicans go one week, i know it is difficult to make us all go with the same time, but let's overlap for a couple of days, and that is what we do now. we overlap for a couple of days. [applause] we may be of different parties, greateny hoyer and i work when it comes to this. we work together and meet together and traveled to israel together. we have a friendship and a bond i believe we both understand. but i would be lying to you if i said it is bipartisan in congress. embarrassed of the last resolution having to be watered down. [applause] and let'

republican. democrats fall in love. republicans fall in line. one off or the beginning of something big? >> i think it's more of a one off, chris. at the end of the day i don't think the political issue will be over this question of executive authority. much like during the immigration deities over president obama's executive orders, at the end of the day your voters in 2020 want to know where you are on policy. and i think a lot of these republicans that may have stepped out of line, if you will, will still be running on donald trump's border security agenda, still on building the wall. i think the bigger issue here, the bigger vulnerability for the president himself is today he writes into law with this veto that he lied to his supporters and the american people about mexico paying for it. i think that's the message that hits the president where it hurts, this debate over executive authority while historically exceedingly important, is not likely to be a political issue in 2020. >> can i challenge you on that? do you think any voter knowing th

because he's popular with republican senators and republican voters around the country. the one thing that can get congress -- republicans in congress it seems right now to buck the president is what is seen as a disrespect of their prerogative as a coequal branch of government. that's what this is about. i guess the question is if the president starts to get less and less unpopular, perhaps you start seeing more republicans breaking from him. a lot of this comes down to how the president is seen within the party. but again, one guy worked in congress for a while, one thing that can really get under members of congress' skin is the idea they're being treated as lesser than the president. this was sort of a shot across the bow from senate republicans and obviously the majority in the house that hair both coequal branches of government and they will be respected. >> shelby, the president took a lot of pride in the first two years in office, some sort of in his words retiring senator bob corker, retiring jeff flake of arizona. these two that bucked him and as a result reali

the overreach by the republicans and starr, the case for itself was easy. >> the republican minority, what could you do? >> there was a lot to shoot at. there was a confined set of facts in the clinton case and clear political overreach. the public believed that. you are in the opposite situation here. if i were the republicans right now, what i would be saying, you know what, let's have the investigation. we embrace the investigation. i would try to get the facts out on the table. i think if you want to take one example on the obstruction of justice, this is when i say when you get into the legal case, this is more complicated than we realize. everybody thinks that james comey and his firing was obstruction of justice. a classic case. i believe it was obstruction of justice. the president and the president's defenders will say yeah, he fired james comey not because of the russia investigation, not because he was obstructing justice, but he was leaking. he has the right to do it. when you get into the debate, it gets more complex than we realize it's going to be. if i were the republi

peter wayner has honorably served the republican party in three republican administrations.er the headline "republicans sink further into trump's cesspool," he writes in the "new york times" republicans on the house oversight committee tried to destroy the credibility of michael cohen's testimony not because they believe that his testimony is false but because they fear it is true. by now republicans must know deep in their hearts that mr. cohen's portrayal of mr. trump as a racist, a con man, and a cheat is spot on. so it is the truth they fear and it is the truth, the fundamental reality of the world as it actually is that they feel compelled to destroy. after this break, those two republican bad boys, the outcasts, bill kristol and peter wayner, will join us. eter wayner, will join us i can't believe it. that we're playing "four on four" with a barbershop quartet? [quartet singing] bum bum bum bum... pass the ball... pass the rock.. ...we're open just pass the ball! no, i can't believe how easy it was to save hundreds of dollars on my car insurance with geico. yea. [quart

for the republican party. and koerner is there to help them with the german delegates and delegates from areas where there is a significant german population. oglesby is the guy who found the rail or found the guy who found the rail. he is going to be around. orval browning, you remember the letter lincoln wrote about the woman he thought he might have been engaged you and might have married and all that, that was browning's wife to whom he wrote the letter. and browning is a conservative whig who in fact was supporting bates. when somebody said browning is for bates, lincoln said bates will have no show and orval will be for me. and when he is he will help us with the bates man, and he did. herndon is lincoln's law partner. and, have you ever had someone around you where you want to keep them quiet at a certain time. in my house it is usually me they want to keep quiet. that is herndon, an abolitionist. he is very opinionated. and he really wants to be involved. lincoln's responses, we have so much legal work

republicans in alabama.17 that helped democrat doug jones to his stunning win in a special senate election. jones is running for a full term in 2020 and is the most vulnerable incumbent democrat. establishment republicans recruited bradley bern to run and are betting alabama will be extra red in a presidential year. their hope bern would get a clear shot is fading. the controversial 2017 candidate, former state supreme court chief justice roy moore is stirring talk he may run again. and the conservative club for growth released a poll this past week as part of its argument that mo brooks is a stronger contender than establishment favorite bern. one strategist described the in nufring as another clown car. it's a race worth watching and proof some internal gop feuds predate president trump. hope you can catch us weekdays here as well at noon. >>> a very busy "state of the union" up next including e inina tlaib and senator amy klobuchar. thanks for sharing your sunday with us. have a great day. ts behind. i fa

limb reaching out to republicans. i hope what can emerge from this is a real conversation about real bills and in the context of that we would be interested to know what the republican proposal is to deal with climate change. with that, i turn back the floor and think of providing officer and appreciate the courtesy of my distinguished colleagues. >> the senator from west virginia? >> thank you, mr. president. i would like to thank my colleague from iowa for organizing the discussion on the green new deal resolution. the public does not pay attention to nonbinding resolutions in congress but that is not the case with this one. the sponsors of the new green deal in the house and senate deserve recognition for the curveball they created so quickly. that is a double-edged sword because people are beginning to pay attention to what is actually in the green new deal. leader mcconnell has proposed bringing the resolution to the floor, which has created a baffling response. sponsors are claiming the vote is cynical, meant to

republicans have yet to put on the table and alternative. i think that speaks volumes about how completely vapid their rhetoric is about the subject. onus is onhink the democrats to come up with something republicans can support? do you need to work across the aisle so there is something they agree to? there has been some compromise in the senate that never went all the way. the alexander murray deal, for example. do democrats need to find a way to get there? rep. connolly: i do not think the burden is on democrats. good ideas can come from both sides of the aisle, so long as people put aside preconceived conceptions and work together. not related to legislation, increasingly across the country, as republican legislatures have seen the benefits of the medicaid expansion in other states, including state led by republican governors and republican legislatures such as my own in virginia, i think they have come to accept that that is a good thing for their consumers, their voters and their state and their budgets. i think there are things we can
