despite what sara sanders said today. again the white house disputes what came out in excerpts in the new book by michael wolff. sara sanders today. >> we're certainly happy for people that had different opinions. but there is a difference between a different opinion and different facts. and people are entitled to an opinion but they are not entitled to their own facts and we have a big problem with people puting out misleading information. that is very different things. >> sara sanders talking about people putting out misleading information. let that one sink in for a moment. and the white house line is down playing the steve bannon role in the white house and it comes straight from the top. [ inaudible ] joins us from the white house. i read a line. but the president issued a statement in response to the quotes from bannon. explain the whole quote, what he said. >> anderson, think we could retire the trm dumpster fire because the bomb cyclone hit washington a day early. we saw that at the white house with the reaction o

as sara sanders said when the president did seemed to work. now we have a deal and the government will reopen this afternoon. >> that's exactly right. we should deal with facts here. the house and senate democrats voted to shut down the government over something that had nothing to do with keeping the government in the first place. they put millions of soldiers children in harms way over a immigration deal not expiring until march. they had time to negotiate. that they were in the mid wh-l this happened. it's still january. why they decide to play politics with millions of children and solders are far beyond me. the american people will see through. that. >> i started this segment, michael, saying voters will remember. maybe they won't. one thing is for sure both of your committees are raising a lot of money. let me put this up here. michael, $105 million raised. yes $105 million raised. for the nrcc, 85 million-dollar raised and $44 million cash on hand. safe to say, michael, this is a costly midterm election? >> you know elections definitely

. >> sara sanders called it sad and said it was pathetic.he was called to respond to questions about the president's mental fitness. >> it's disgraceful and laughable. if he was unfit, he probably wouldn't be sitting there, wouldn't have defeated the most qualified group of candidates the republican party has ever seen. this is an incredibly strong and good leader. >> that response from sara sanders came after she introduced a special guest. president trump appeared on video tout the economy. no mention the book. we'll have more in a moment. >>> among the revelations in "fire and fury" his first hand involvement krafcrafting the misleading response. the president insisted the meeting in trump tower was about adoption policy. that's what was discussed, period, period. it was quite possible that jared and ivanka new the times had this e-mail chain. the president ordered no one should let on to the more problematic discussion about hillary clinton. >> the "new york times" first disclosed the meeting last year. "the washington post" later report

. >> thursday, the press secretary sara sanders called the book complete fantasy, sad and pathetic and forced to respond to critics questions about the president's mental fitness. >> it's disgraceful and laughable. if he was unfit, he probably wouldn't be sitting there and have defighted the most qualified group of candidates the republican party has ever seen. this is an incredibly strong and good leader. >> earlier, she introduced a special guest at the white house briefing. president trump appeared on video to tout the economy. no mention the book. >> steps away from the press room, mind you. >> as for the book's direct quotes from bannon so far, bannon has disputed none of them. more on that in a moment. >> among the revelations in "fire and fury," president trump's first hand involvement crafting the misleading response to the trump tower meeting with the russian lawyer. the book says quote, the president insisted that the meeting at trump tower was purely and simply about russian adoption policy. that's what was discussed. le period. period. even though it was likely, if not cert

and sara sanders and stephen miller are defying reality. they know better than the three of us sitting there -- >> they were there. >> and how close president trump was. president trump relies on a certain tight knit set of advisers who he believes can help just as he did with the apprentice on nbc, people he feels understands his cultural connection to the rest of the country and steve bannon was first among equals. >> brian, you touched on this earlier, we're learning that bore ris is hearing trump and his team are making calls to some supporters, saying either with me or with bannon and that everybody is picking the president. does bannon have influence. is there bannonism for 2018 moving forward? >> i think the steven miller interview on "state of the un n union" was an example of choosing sides, choosing between bannon and trump and clearly choosing trump. that interview was a trump pledge of allegiance. stephen miller desperately playing to donald trump's ego, trying to appease the president. not what you expect from white house offic

the white house press secretary sara sanders said that doctor ruaridh jackson secretary sara sanderst today's presque —— press reading. he does not smoke or drink but he is partial to fast food and a diet coke but his doctor has claimed he could be the healthiest person ever to be elected to the presidency... what we have learned todayisit presidency... what we have learned today is it isn't only diet coke and mcdonald's, but also... starbursts! how do we know that the president likes them? the majority leader, kevin mccarthy, in the house, he was on air force one and he noticed when the president went for the sweetie jar, he started picking out the pink and the red ones. he only likes pink and the red ones. he only likes pink and red ones! more power to mr mccarthy. if you look at the pictures from mar—a—lago at the weekend, who has the stardust sprinkled? mr mccarthy! he is right next to the president. it obviously works. this is how to get to his heart. it is also one of my five! my favourite is clearly the greenlands, i'm hoping yours aren't. we would have to fight over them and

. >> the other thing mind boggling in the white house briefing today is sara sanders said a reporter asked, i forgot which, asked essentially they were -- steve bannon was on equal footing with reince priebus and sara sanders said i wouldn't say he was on equal footing. if you read the press release from when they were both appointed, it actually says that they are equal partners in this. >> yes, they were equal partners and if anyone had higher footing, arguably that was steve bannon during the early months of this administration a year ago. who was it put on the national security council in the first week of the administration? it was steve bannon, the president gave him blessing to that. who approved of the travel ban? that was steve bannon. there's no question now, there can be revisionist history if they would like but it does not meet the facts. bannon was along for the ride through all of this, leading the train in many respects here. the question here though is, will this break remain or will the president want to know what steve bannon is thinking in the months to come, cert

again, that is a statement from white house press secretary sara sanders, who is making the point that yes, there is a fatality, but the white house is saying that it is not a member of congress or any of their family members. dana, as you well know, it's very common for members of congress, their spouses, and even their families in some cases to go to this resort-like weekend, this retreat weekend. it is one of the few bonding experiences, if you will, for these members of congress to get together. so that is one of the dynamics here. and we're also looking on social media for messages. i just saw one from congressman jeff fortenberry, republican from nebraska. he points out the house chaplain is on the scene as well. he was traveling with these members. he is helping the injured there. so just some more detail coming out from members of congress on the scene. we can see this tweet here from jeff fortenberry. he says, my family and i are on the train to a retreat, hit a truck, jarring but everyone okay on the train. severe injury in truck. maybe a death. father conroy there with injur

white house press secretary sara sanders acknowledged that the release of the book left trump furious and disgusted the former chairman manafort sued the justice department and special counsel mueller and plan fort said prosecutors over stepped authority when they chargeed him for conduct he says is unrelated to the russian meddling investigation and he was indicted in october on marijuana laundering and conspiracy charges related to his work for the russian friendly party in ukraine. two significant swearing in today in the u.s. senate, vice president pence gave the oath of office to doug jones who defeated roy moore in alabama and former minnesota lieutenant governor tina smith to replace of sexuals misconduct allegations and mar ner east two pipeline inmental regular later said them to stop work today citing eggregious and willingful violations of state law and a number of spills on the 2.5 million project the natural gas pipeline is to connect shale in marcus hook pennsylvania let's get more from metrologist cecily tynan we have a lot to talk about tonight. >> yes i have been trac

however, at about 8:36 this morning, a white house statement came out attached to sara huckabee sandersaying that starting next week white house staffers will no longer be able to use personal cell phones within the west wing. now, the reason given for this was security. however, as we have mentioned, the president repeatedly on twitter has railed against leaks. the attorney general of the united states, jeff sessions, just months ago saying that the justice department would look into whether or not any leakers at the white house had committed any crimesnd they found that indeed happened, they would prosecute them under federal law. so, jim and marina the real question is this. you can stop white house staffers from using personal phones inside the west wing, you can even stop visitors from using personal cell phones within the west wing. however, the entirety of the administration is not contained within the west wing. people have wires, they go out to lunch. there are still other ways to call sources in this city and simply telling white house staffers who work within the west wing th

i know you pressed sara sanders on whether president trump had anything to do with andrew mccabe's departure, and here's what he said today. >> reporter: can you say that the president did not play a role in andrew mccabe stepping down? >> yes, i can say that the president wasn't part of this decision-making process and we would refer you to the fbi, where christopher wray serves as the director. the president has full confidence in him and has put the decisions at the fbi in his hands. >> so, cecilia, we heard that there, a denial from sarah sanders, but this white house is really facing questions if the president is trying to influence the justice department. >> reporter: david, you remember, president trump fired fbi director james comey, sources tell us, he moved to fire special counsel robert mueller, and now andrew mccabe is out. the white house may be denying that the president played a role in andrew mccabe's ouster today, but president trump made it very clear he wanted him gone. david, the big question facing this administration right now, in the midst of this russia investigation,

and before this briefing started, the president called press secretary sara sanders and asked her not to put an end to it until every last question was answered, david. >> all right, cecilia vega, our thanks to you. >>> meantime, across town, the fireworks on capitol hill, heated words over immigration, the dreamers and the president's profane comments. in fact, the head of homeland security testifying under oath, grilled about why she could not specifically remember the president's words from the oval office. and how she answered when asked, norway is a predominantly white country, isn't it? abc's mary bruce on the hill tonight. >> reporter: in the oval office today, president trump tried to extinguish the racial firestorm he ignited, saying he welcomes all immigrants. >> i want them to come in from everywhere, everywhere. >> reporter: but on capitol hill, his dhs secretary kristjen nielsen faced a barrage of questions. she was in the room when sources say the president used a vulgar slur to describe african countries. >> you're under oath. did president trump use this word or a subs

listen to sara sanders, earlier today. >> i think chuck schumer is trying to save face every way he possibly can. this is a president who stood firm and stood his ground. worked with republican leadership like speaker ryan and leader mcconnel. we had a coordinated effort to put pressure on the democrats to reopen the government. >> dana: i think the republicans are right to take a victory lap with this shut down ending so quickly. the democrats are swallowing terrible headline after terrible headline. could that be short lived with february 8 and the democrats pushed to do something more agreegious then last time. >> a hundred percent this. is a short-term victory, and a big one. there were risks involved here. the democrats couldn't articulate that message about why they wouldn't vote to reopen the government. so, they, they have suddenly realized there wasn't a lot to stand on. especially those up for reelection in red states. you're right in just a few weeks, a couple of weeks we will be right back where we were. if skhaoupler is pulling off the funding for the wall it's again the chest g

. >> white house press secretary sara sanders is taking an opposite task. >> following the same practices before us have that have gone back decades that there is a process you go through, the congress should consult with the white house prior prior to obtaining confidential material. executive privilege is something that goes back decades because something that needs to be protected. >> seems like mixed messages. joining me tonight is cnn contributor john dean. and cnn political analyst, maggie halverman. is kelly parsing words? >> to be clear, what we have had coming out both of the white house and reports about what actually happened and what was relayed during this committee meeting has been muddled. but sarah sanders' words most views. topic to be clear through the white house that steve bannon's lawyer is open question. bannon's lawyer represents two other people who are witnesses in this probe. one is reince priebus and one is don mcgahn. certain there is an appearance issue that a lot of people have raised a question with. >> do you think kelly does not know they are in contact w

press secretary sara sanders confirmed today that bannon's lawyer was on the phone with the white housebout the questions. sanders said it was not out of the ordinary. >> it's not isolated to this incident. executive privilege is something that goes by decades because it's something that needs to be protected, whether it's during this one 20 years from now. we want to make sure that we follow the process and the precedent and that's all that's taking place. >> yesterday's 12-hour session escalated to the point that bannon was issued a subpoena on the spot. and told lawmakers to work out the impasse with the white house the senior democrat tonight cried foul. >> we cannot allow that to become the routine. to allow witnesses to decide when and where they're willing to answer questions. >> democrats want answers abouts son, son-in-law and former campaign chairman and os and why bannon called it treasonist. republicans are equally frustrated. >> keep many mind the president and some of his supporters want congress to hurry up and conclude these investigations. so do i. the best want to do t

white house press secretary sara sanders pushing back hard against the book and its author michael wolffhis is a guy who made up a lot of stories to try to sell books and i think more and more people are starting to see that his facts just simply don't add up. >> reporter: but wolff is standing his ground telling the today show he spent about three hours with the president before and after the inauguration. even though the white house says wolff never spoke with the president for the book. >> i work like every journalist works so i have recordings, i have notes. i am certainly and absolutely in every way comfortable with everything i've reported in this book. >> reporter: americans diving into "fire and fury" as president trump deals with other matters, he'll be at camp david over the weekend where he and administration officials will meet with gop congressional leaders to set the 2018 agenda. >> we have a lot of things to work on. >> reporter: issues like welfare reform daca and national security all expected to be discussed. at the white house, i'm kevin cork, fox news. >> time now is

>> press secretary sara sanders seemed to walk back the president's 100% promise. >> we've said all along, from day one, we want full transparency in this process. we haven't hidden that. at the same time we're still going to complete the legal and national security review that has to take place before putting something out publicly. >> is there any chance that the president does not release it? >> i think there's always a chance. >> the apparent promise came after days of discussions. deputy attorney general rod rosenstein and christopher wray urged chief of staff john kelly to delay monday's house vote on releasing the memo. when the committee voted anyway, officials from doj and fbi went to the white house tuesday, to make a renewed effort to discuss discrepancies in the memo. devin nunes, courier to the white house monday night, kicking off a five-day window for the president to review the memo and decide whether or not to release it. sources say the memo alleging that the fbi did not disclose to the judge who signed off on a secret surveillance warrant for foreign trump campaign advi

sara sanders a asked for a correction. white house wanted a correction.turday night she went out and called the "journal" fake news. what does it tell you the murdoch relationship with white house. on the other hand let's let in the "journal" and calls the "journal" fake news. >> may i jump in on this one? >> yes. >> so this is an argument over a contraction, did president trump say i have a great relationship with the north korean leader or i'd have one. now i listened to the white house tape and the "journal" tape and for the moment, i think if you really want to maybe be conclusive, have forensic audiologists on it. you have now this dilemma in addition to his turning on "wall street journal" interview where he couldn't get enough of it. when you read the transcript which they have posted he's saying oh, i don't want to go to my next meeting, we're doing a great time, we should do this all the time. now instead of just saying maybe there's a mistake, and that's the core of what so much you write and talk about, people make mistakes. government official

house says the feud will not hurt the president among his base white house press secretary prey sara sanderse who supported the president supported the president and his agenda. those things haven't changed. the president is still exactly who he was yesterday as he was two years ago when he started out on the campaign trail. i think the base is extremely excited and happy with the job that this president has done in his first year in office. >> harris: here is how we know that's right. the president's response is to open a can of whoop stuff and steve bannon's is to soften his rhetoric. >> look, if i can use a religious analogy. >> harris: oh, please. >> not to overstate it, of course, trump is jesus and steve bannon. >> harris: didn't see that coming. >> and steve bannon is john the baptist. they are both incredibly necessary. he was incredibly important, steve bannon was at getting president trump elected the indispensable man is donald trump. let's say there is a fracture. i'm not sure there is the fracture the media wants us to believe. if there is let's say that's the reality. the banno

together not this name calling, not this you're a loser like the statement put out last night by sara sanders i thought was really immature and not a really professional, calling democrats losers in the middle of this. >> or jell-o. both sides, i agree, both sides have to bring it up a little bit. >> republicans say they're name calling. they claim democrats have done it in the past. they say they overexaggerate things. >> i think what you are saying here is this, i think both sides right now are really willing to go the long game with this shut down. i think there are democrats and schumer saying -- i think when they had that meeting today it was very clear. i'm willing to let this go for a while. i think it is clear from today, they're ready to go for this long term. >> one party controls the government. two, one party controls the congress. >> you can't do anything about the senate having 60 votes. >> one party controls the house. one party controls the senate. one party controls the white house and the judiciary, by the way. so yes you do need 60 votes. but, listen, both parties have to w

jim acosta from the white house, sara sanders took aim at book. >> you heard sarah sanders describe the book as book full of lies. but asked about the claim considering the fact that white house gave michael wolff what appears for unprecedented access to multiple officials inside the white house. here's what she had to say. >> calling the michael wolff book a book full of lies. didn't this white house give michael wolff all the access that he wanted? >> absolutely not. in fact there are probably more than 30 requests for access to information from michael wolff repeatedly denied. including within that at least two dozen requests of him asking to have an interview with the president, which he never did. never discussed this book with the president. and to me that would be the most important voice that you could have, looking to write a book about an individual, would be to have some time with him. never did. repeatedly denied that, i think because we saw him for what he was and no reason to waste the president of the united states's time. >> the white house continued to be in blame banno

we're expecting white house press secretary sara sanders to talk about the possible shutdown. this is a live look at the press room at the white house. the president says he will delay a planned trip to florida so that he can sign off on the bill if it is passed by the senate. we'll be watching this very closely. in other news this morning, police have two people in custody after a worker foiled an attempted robbery at a beer store in philadelphia's german town neighborhood. here's what we know. one of the suspects forced the owner to open the register, then he ransacked her apartment above the store at german town avenue and collins street. meantime, a worker pressed an alarm to alert police. officers arrived and arrested a man and teenage girl who was with him. nobody here was hurt. >>> this morning, we've learned the gunman who killed a deputy u.s. marshal in harrisburg is from philadelphia. that gunman, kevin sturg guess, also indicted in the shootout with police. investigators say sturg guess had two active warrants in philadelphia. he was inside a house in harrisburg yes

the white house press secretary, sara sanders, has said that there is one fatality confirmed and at least one serious injury, unclear exactly who those people were. in talking to members of congress on the train, we've heard many of them say after the initial collision, that initial bang that their train had with that garbage truck on the tracks, the immediate need was for the people outside of the train. the immediate need for the extensive and serious injuries were those people in that garbage truck. we've heard anecdotally from many members of congress, many of them who are trained medical doctors, really jump in and roll up their sleeves and help people. certainly a scary incident. now, of course, plans being reworked for how this retreat, this three-day republican retreat goes on. we're told it will continue on. vice president pence, who was not on that train, was scheduled to speak there later today. he has said that he indeed intends to speak there. president trump will speak there tomorrow at that retreat in the green briar area in west virginia. certainly a very tragic and scary

you know, if you're sara sanders in the white house or other communications people or the national security adviser mcmaster whom i assume cares deeply about this what are you thinking? >> you're thinking oh, no, i have to clean up this messes again. here's the thing with trump. he often acts in his own self-interest without thinking about the policies or consequence so any republican on capitol hill now looking for this vote, would be crazy to be seeking policy advice from the president or direction because he changes his mind based on how it suits him. he saw something, probably on "fox and friends" he likes to live tweet the cable morning shows, that was probably deemed as threatening to the investigation, to him, and said i don't like this fisa court thing without knowing much about it. you know, at one point or another we're going to know the information that was presented to authorities to start investigating members of the trump campaign. we will know that information at some point in time. right now we don't. and i think donald trump is doing all that he can to cast aspersions on wh

press secretary can the sara sanders said this, senate democrats own the schumer shutdown. they put politics above our national security, military families, vulnerable children and our country's ability to serve all americans. so again, going after democrats there. the white house press secretary. what they failed to mention were four republicans, four key republicans also voted against this in the senate. lindsey graham first among them who, of course had been close to this president. now the pathway forward is unclear. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell proposing an three-week solution 0. trump will have to weigh in on that. the issue remains the same, immigration is the central issue hereing that neither side has been able to agree upon. democrats were pressing for immigration to be included in the spending measure. republicans balked at that. that's why the shutdown is happening. president trump starting his second year in office here in washington was scheduled to fly to florida. next week scheduled to be in switzerland. both trips are in question as the shutdown n

. >> and sara sanders today at the white house tried to make the case that it wasn't believable, theresident only spoke for a few minutes with the author of this book. but in reality they gave him unfettered access. >> they did. >> he spoke to a significant amount of people and he had first hand account of a lot of things there. >> i think they're lucky donald trump doesn't read books because if he were to read this book he would discover that people didn't respect him or admire him. >> a lot of this -- >> it makes you wonder if he knew some of these excerpts and that was behind a lot of the tweets the last 24 hours. >> it's getting tweeted tonight, we know the president's on twitter. >> that's true. >> stay with us. the ivanka factor, her reported presidential plans her pact with her husband and the secrets she's revealed about her father's famous hair. >>> welcome back. tonight the president is said to be furious about a sensational new book about him and his family that makes the trump white house feel more like a reality show than ever. >> it describes ivanka trump as having her

. >> i think what you were referring to is the exchange with sara sanders where she wouldn't say theyghed in on memo, but consulting with congress. that's a big deal because nunez, who authored this memo has been accused of being kind of a mouthpiece for the white house. of not doing his job as a chairman of an oversight committee, but really playing politics and doing the white house's work to undermine the mueller investigation. which would already raise a lot of concerns about what's going to come out. as pete said, there's a lot of concern from the justice department and the fbi that this isn't accurate and there won't be anything anyone can say because if there were other sources that were used that nunez chose to ignore because it doesn't go along with his narrative they won't be able to correct the record because they will be adding on to classified information that shouldn't come out. so the fact that they could be working on this memo brings up even more concerns about its legitimacy. >> so pete, if he's still with us, basically the fbi finds itself in a situation where excep

the briefing with sara sanders coming up less than two hours from now. i'm sure this would be front and center. what does this type of revelation mean for the white house? right now, especially at this very sensitive moment? >> it certainly does one thing above and beyond. it undercuts the argument that this white house has been making to downplay and discredit the russia investigation. this has been happening for months now. steve bannon, of course, who, sat steps away from the oval office as the senior, as the chief strategist of this white house till he was fired in august, he's making explosive charges. the reality here is that he does have as ax to grind. he's been not private at all about his dislike for the president's son-in-law jared kushner, his daughter ivanka trump. still, he was in the middle of these conversations here at the white house. these explosive charges in the book certainly add fuel to the fire that many people here at the white house had been trying to extinguish and move on to the rest of their agenda. that will be a challenge w

parties don't know what's happening next and they don't want the president to put out a statement or sara sanders putting out a statement blasting anyone because they may need the democrats to get more votes on plan b or plan c or whatever you want to call it as it goes forward. we have been reporting senator schumer and senator mcconnel after it was clear the vote was failing went out of the chamber to the sidelines. one expects they're talking. the administrative liaison is on the hill and they could have talks with him and on the phone with the president and chief of staff kelly and others. they're putting together what happens next. if they knew, they'd say, o'the vote's over. let's move on to the next thing. instead they don't know what they're doing next. that is why we're seeing the vote still open though it's been counted and though everybody knows this motion, this bill to keep the government open has failed and we're minutes from it technically closing down. they're leaving the vote open procedurely hoping for another plan. >> juan, i read it's do or die time for the democrats. it would

white house spokesman sara sanders reading trump's reaction. >> i'm pleased that democrats in congressave come to their senses are now willing to fund our great military border patrol first responders and insurance for vulnerable children. >> reporter: the deal was made after republicans promised to prioritize resolving the dreamers act. >> to all the dreamers who are watching today don't give up. >> reporter: daca protection for some 800,000 undocumented immigrants brought to this country as children, a major sticking point. >> i think it would be a serious mistake for us to pass an amnesty bill providing amnesty and a path to citizenship for millions of people here illegally. >> reporter: the bill includes just 17 days of government funding and a six year extension of chip, the children's healthcare program. 17 days not a long time. lawmakers are actually saying they hope to have daca and other immigration issues resolved by march fifth. reporting live on capitol hill, gloria riviera channel6 "action news." rick back to you. >> gloria thank you. >>> a fire broke out at a home in brid

russians who claim to have dirt on democratic presidential candidate hillary clinton press secretary sara sanders called the president's anger at bannon justified i would certainly think that going after the president's son and absolutely outrageous and unprecedented way is probably not the best way to curry favor with anybody the book's release coincides with special prosecutor robert miller's investigation into russia's meddling in the twenty six thousand election and possible collusion by the trump campaign it includes interviews with white house insiders including bannon and paints an administration in chaos the white house tried to distance itself from bannon wednesday saying the president had little one on one contact with bannon but bannon was the c.e.o. of the president's campaign played a key role during the president's transition to the white house and was chief political strategist until he was fired last summer in the book bennett says he advised the president to move the u.s. embassy in israel from tel aviv to jerusalem immediately after he took office he is quoted as saying we know

the press briefing will take place here at about 1:15 with sara sanders. we'll try to press her for more details, whether president trump had spoken to andrew mccabe in recent weeks to express any of his personal opinions about this matter. those among the likely questions we'll see a short time from now. >> and also, in fact, there's another tweet from former cia director brennan who wrote about the possibility of mueller being fired. he wrote earlier today, ample basis exists to enact legislation to protect special counsel mueller from interference, irrespective of party in power, u.s. strength rests on ability to safeguard rule of law. that's from john brennan. so we had that, and now we have the stepping down, the early retirement f you will, of andrew mccabe after being under fire for months and months. >> yeah, that's right. and brennan is referring to a dispute that's unfolding among congressional republicans about whether to push this legislation to protect robert mueller. some senators have said yesterday, lindsey graham, susan collins, that they

part of it i think has to do with the president being very defensive when it comes to his family sara sanders his press secretary said just a little while ago in a press briefing that you don't curry favor with the president when you call his son treasonous and unpatriotic which is what bannon allegedly said in this book when donald trump jr met with these russians before the the election year ago in the summer to talk about potential dirt on hillary clinton. and he's she said you know you he sort of stepped over the line when he did that and again this also comes at a time when robert muller is still bearing down on the administration looking into meddling into the two thousand and sixteen presidential campaign and potential collusion with the trumpet ministration the other thing to keep in mind here too is steve bannon had a has a strong appeal to the nationalist movement which is part of president trump's core audience and so it raises questions as to whether those some of those people in his core might side with bannon. sarah sanders was asked about that today in the in the press briefing

. >> sara huckabee sanders talking about the daca deal.he associated press is reporting six senators reached the four key areas. a group of bipartisan lawmakers agreed on earlier this week when they met at the white house with president trump. that group of senators includes lindsey graham jeff flake and minority whip dick durbin. they hope to gain additional support for measure. lawmakers on a race to strike a deal before the deadline. the president is saying no deal with the democrats unless i get the wall. >> which by the way has taken many different forms because he said the other day he's not looking for necessarily a 2,000-mile wall but he was saying we're going to build a 60-foot wall. it's gone so many different ways. >> not sure. >> there's all this speculation until something is done and this is washington, d.c. a lot is not getting done. he got the tax bill, that was the big thing but not a whole lot gets done because nobody can get on the same page these days. >> there are a lot of folks waiting to find out will mean for them i

i want to take you upstairs, i was just up there in the west wing a moment ago inside sara sanders' officee is a gathering right now. i saw the policy adviser steven miller walking out as i approached. they should be down here shortly, mick mulvaney, marc short, but you talk about this, it's not just about politics. one of the real challenges is, this is about american lives, how it impacts americans. remember in 2013, 850,000 federal workers went unpaid, not paid, until, frankly, the money came back, which wasn't for two weeks. the same concern exists right now, a white house official telling me they have real concerns this may land on the president's lap, he may take blame for this. you played the quote in 2013 when he was blaming president obama saying it rests with the guy at the top. the question is why the circumstances are any different here this time around and what exactly this president is doing beyond phone calls to really try to put this together. >> peter, i'm going to do the real annoying thing where i ask you to hang out for a couple of minutes to join us while we wait for t
