this is not house democrats, this is senate republicans. this is the chairman of the committee richard burr of north carolina coming a day after mitch mcconnell saying let's wrap things up. this isn't the mueller report. this is their own senate investigation but the president and white house would like to feel republicans are on their side. this is a committee chairman going on with his committee. this is the first of the trump children to be subpoenaed. obviously, we've seen some other jared kushner, the son-in-law, some other people have come, voluntarily come to the committee. this is the first subpoena. people outside the white house like donald trump junior don't have some of the same protections that you do have in the white house. this puts them at a, you know, in a bind, really. we don't really know what donald trump junior will do. we hear he may not come forward for the -- you know, to testify. we're not sure what he's going to do. for the president, this is hitting home and is a personal thing when his children are getting involv

says a lot of things for political consumption but in reality donald trump has brought and senate republicans have brought the policy the democrats for decades have said they want but they want no part of it and sometimes they say it is immoral. the border policy the president has espouses line with what they said they want and now it is immoral as though it is a crime. jillian: some are on tape and we played that. rob: it will make great ads for the president's reelection showing all those old soundbites. >> it is a problem. jillian: let's look at the number of laws passed through

balanceus.org >>> a balancing act today for the top republican in the senate, mitch mcconnell, stickinglosed line for the mueller report but also backing a republican committee chairman who wants to keep a related investigation open, and by open we mean demanding new testimony from donald trump jr. republicans are angry at one of their own, the intelligence committee chairman richard burr because he signed off on a new subpoena to compel the president's son to testify. count the president among those angry republicans. >> well, i was very surprised. i saw richard burr saying there was no collusion two or three weeks ago. he went outside and somebody asked him. know, there's no collusion. we found no collusion, by was very surprised to see my son. >> many of burr's colleagues are mad he won't adopt the party's nothing to see time to move on mantra. this morning in a radio interview with a local kentucky station mcconnell predicted the anger will soon pass. >> i know the president's upset about that, but i think he ought not to worry about it. the chairman of the intelligence committee ha

unfortunately, what the republicans in the senate are planning to do is the same thing they have done with over 100 bills. ignore it. by a avoiding votes on these bills, republicans are effectively extending steps that families have been very clear that they want to the legislative graveyard. and that is unacceptable, and it's the opposite of what people sent us here to do. a while ago, president trump said republicans were going to be the, quote, party of health care. well, i've got to tell you, patients and families know the difference. they know that this so-called party of health care is not the one centering their health care agenda around sabotage or fighting to strike down protections for people with preexisting conditions and sending proposals that actually have a chance to do something for americans to the graveyard. so i hope my republican collea listening at home and to the families they represent. this is not about empty words that a town hall. getting up every day and fighting to make sure they are protected. i want to thank the courage of my house counterparts. it is so

yesterday, the senator from north carolina spoke to the fellow republican senators, made his case forng to see a lot more defined, and it's a difficult political move for him and for republicans because this isn't, again, a dispute about trade or a nominee abothe presit has put up for a position. it touches the president's family. if we know anything about president trump, he's very sensitive about the fact that he personally is being attacked. coming from a republican senator, that's going to be a difficult row to hoe. >> this is the one issue you do not touch with this president. michael, thank you so much, have a great weekend. >> thanks. >> yeah, have a great weekend, michael. thank you. >>> flash flood warnings in effect for the houston metro area. rain so intense the excess underground was pushing that manhole up about 40 people trapped by flood waters with rainfall rates up to 2 to 3 inches an hour reported. emergency crews say the person trapped in this car, and then it flipped and was submerged in a flooded ditch. hail and frequent lightning also might be part of the mix. >>>

tom till tis, a republican from north carolina, where senator richard burr is also from, richard burr is also a republican. tom tillis up for re-election tweeting out i agree with leader mcconnell. the says closed. the mueller report cleared donald trump jr. and he's already spent 27 hours testifying before congress. dems have made it clear this is all about politics. it's time to move on and start focusing on the issues that matter to americans. >> yeah. >> the same tom tillis at one time that was completely opposed to the emergency declaration on the wall and then flipped on that as well. might want to talk to the senior senator from his state. i also want to go through the issues that the committee might actually be looking. a i'm going to pull out our secret magic wall device. you get a sense of what donald trump jr. might be called back to talk about, one is the june 2016 trump tower meeting and one thing people have keyed on is trump's testimony in september of 2017. help was asked who else knew about the meeting as it was happening? he sa

this is really an indication of senate republicans who said no way. that they would not support him based on the economic issues he put out. long time colleagues -- had moore on air force one with him and talked about nominating him. had not actually sent the paperwork in. that sort of beside the point at this moment. what stands out is then the president withdrawing, say iing that moore would not be under consideration, but he'd still like to work with him. it tells us there's a message from senate republicans who of course are responsible for confirming any presidential nomination of this level. so it's not a house side issue. it's senate only. when you don't have senate republicans, you don't have a confirmable nominee. and that's what you've got with moore and cane. the president likes to tout the economy and that's important as he becomes candidate truch again. this is two big vacancies and two very spotty episodes in his stewardship of the economy when it comes to the federal reserve. >> but john, i discussed this with a former administration of

but i think again, what is significant is that from a republican chairman from a republican-led senate you have a subpoena of the trump family. if the white house and trump organization tries to stone wall republican congress, i think it under cuts the claim this is a partisan witch hunt. after all, how could republicans be engaged in a witch hunt of the republican president. >> thank you both for being with us. and coming up, to impeach or not to impeach? we'll look at where americans stand right now. is there more support for impeaching trump than there was for impeaching bill clinton? how about richard nixon? we're heading to the big board when "the 11th hour" comes right back. >>> every single day the president is making a case. he's becoming self-impeachable. >> there it is. that's that line from the speaker of the house, nancy pelosi talking about the prospects of the democratic controlled house of representatives initiating impeachment proceedings against donald trump. something democrats have been talking about and trying to figure out their way forward. one thing certainly, el

this doesn't seem like a question at all in my mind. >> i think it is not a question that a republican senateet donald trump get thrown out of office. in some ways the republicans are kind of doing democrats a little bit of a favor here. one thing that democrats are concerned about is that a lot of voters don't understand what impeachment is. they hear impeachment, the house will impeach and the president will be gone. that's not how it works. >> that's how they're responding to poll questions. >> that's not how it works. they bring charges and the whole thing goes to the senate where there's a court in effect, the chief justice would preside. the senate republicans get to decide what evidence is admitted, whether or not stormy daniels testifies or donald trump jr., et cetera, and they'll limit that. >> alex, what are you picking up from sources in the democratic base, how happy they are with nancy pelosi on this impeachment question. >> it is no longer just the kind of usual suspects that are calling for this, rashida tlaib, people like john yarmuth, people closer to nancy pelosi, i think sh

you targeting in terms of senate republicans to flip their vote? now, several prominent ones will not be interested. stephen: look, just because a senator today says they will not vote for me is not mean three months from now they won't. it will be a different world two or three months from now when this comes before the senate. in that time, i hope to talk to all the republican senators and i think the case for re-is, look at this booming economy. it happened in large part because of the trump economic agenda, which is great for women , great for minorities, great for every group. we've just got another blockbuster labor productivity number today, which was off the charts. we are going to get another blockbuster jobs report tomorrow , so i am going to run on enomics put trump together. when i am at the fed, i will do every thing i can to continue with high employment, higher wages, and strong growth. tom: mr. moore, good morning. tom keene in new york. you mentioned you would like to talk to people. let's talk to paul kirkman and john taylor. tomor

one other thing, i was critical of my republican colleagues in the senate because we can do more too. we need to bring some of those bills to the floor that your colleagues just talked about. >> let me ask you this. >> okay. >> do you think it would be cathartic for the country for essentially, you know, impeachment is not an automatic, doesn't mean you're voting out of office. bringing charges, having a trial essentially, and the house is the prosecutor and you guys would be the jury. would that be the most healthy cathartic exercise in that everybody would see everything? there wouldn't be a redacted this or a redacted that? public hearings and a public trial and in some ways, either everybody would see for themselves? is there any part of that you think, as nasty as that could get or divisive, it's better than this? >> here's what i honestly think, chuck. i think the people in america who care about this issue, which is political, as you know, are the well intentioned crankwanks. the ones center right, obey their law, pay their taxes. i don't think they care about who is winning or

but i think again, what is significant is that from a republican chairman from a republican-led senate have a subpoena of the trump family. if the white house and trump organization tries to stone wall republican congress, i think it under cuts the claim this is a partisan witch hunt. after all, how could republicans be engaged in a witch hunt of the republican president. >> thank you both for being with us. and coming up, to impeach or not to impeach? we'll look at where americans stand right now. is there more support for impeaching trump than there was for impeaching bill clinton? how about richard nixon? we're heading to the big board when "the 11th hour" comes right back. "the 11th hour" comes righ back with all that usaa offers why go with anybody else? we know their rates are good, we know that they're always going to take care of us. it was an instant savings and i should have changed a long time ago. it was funny because when we would call another insurance company, hey would say "oh we can't beat usaa" we're the webber family. we're the tenney's we're the hayles, and we're us

the senate judiciary committee led by republican senator richard burr has subpoenaed the president's eldest son, donald trump jr., to tell for a second time. trump jr. talked to three committees you will remember back in 2017, but refused to talk to the special counsel and sources tell cnn he is now locked in a standoff with burr. >> trump senior's standoff with house committees grows more constitutionally perilous by the day. he has tried to cloak the mueller report and all the underlying evidence in executive privilege while the house judiciary chairman vows to subpoena mueller himself if it comes to that. sunlen serfaty is on capitol hill at this hour. do we know where the justice department wants to hear from trump jr. again? >> reporter: the request committee has started reinterviewing many witnesses as part of their two-year-long investigation. we have heard from many on the committee an interest in getting don jr. back, we've heard that most vocally from the top democrat on the committee mark werner. a big pair i can't of focus is the conflicting information about his trump to

what do you make of this subpoena by senate intel for donald trump jr. >> this came from a republicanenate committee whose investigation has kind of stood in stark contrast to the, you know, parallel investigations going on in the house intelligence and house judiciary committees. chairman richard burr and vice chairman mark warner have worked very hard to maintain the integrity of this investigation. but i think this is by far the most significant move to come out of this panel because we already know donald trump jr. was under scrutiny for his congressional testimony before but mueller decided not to charge him with any kind of criminal, you know, criminal charges related to perjury or campaign finance violations but this is another reminder because the mueller report is out doesn't mean these people are out of the woods. a reminder how dangerous michael cohen is to the trump family in particular because a lot of these revelations are based on his conversations with fbi prosecutors and also his testimony to the house oversight committee earlier this year. >> one of the reasons why t

protections for pre-existing conditions. , during my first speech on the senate floor, i called for senate republican leaders to take up and pass this resolution to defend the constitutionality of the aca in court. unsurprisingly, republicans locked my request. leader mcconnell would not even let us take a vote on it. he has refused to allow the senate to take a vote on a number of bills that have passed the house and that would help hard-working american families and workers most notably. legislation that passed the house this week that would enforce protections for people living with pre-existing conditions. we know that health care is not our only fight. every day, this administration shows us its true colors. whether it is by taking away access to affordable quality health care, advancing policies that undermine women's reproductive freedoms, or by implementing cruel immigration policies, that go against our american values. ,eparating immigrant families taking away children from their mothers arms -- we know in our hearts this is not who we really are. as we gather this week to celebrate mother'

senate. republican after republican even in the wake of robert mueller's remarks have made clear they believe the case is closed. they believe everyone should move on. that is why pelosi is maintaining her track. she's not alone. house judiciary chairman jerry nadler saying impeachment is not off the table but at least at the moment it's not on the table either. they are not going to pursue that. guys. >> phil mattingly on capitol hill, thanks, the house speaker insists she will not be swayed on impeachment by the democratic candidates for president. that's not stopping the 2020 hopefuls from weighing in. >> i believe that expungement proceedings will strengthen congress's hand in getting the information and the responses that they need to come to a conclusion about ultimate impeachment. >> these are impeachable offenses. it is our constitutional responsibility as members of congress to bring a judgment of impeachment against this president. >> i think it's a fair inference from what we heard was bob mueller was referring impeachment to the united states congress. >> it is an unprecedented mo

, burr and the republicans on the senate intel committee, want to hear from don jr., and how are other republican senators responding? >> yeah, i just got a chance to catch up with some republicans who are siding with donald trump jr. over the committee chairman, richard burr, who has issued a subpoena along with mark warner, the committee's vice chairman, to get donald trump jr. to come back to the committee to hear more from him after he first testified back in 2017. we understand there's some questions about what he said before. there could be questions that members have about whether or not, about some of his initial discussions about the trump tower meeting that he took back in 2016, the mueller report raised some questions about his initial testimony to a different committee, but the moment some republicans, including senator lindsey graham said he will be reluctant if he were donald trump jr. to come back and testify before the senate panel. >> i like richard burr. i just don't know, to me, mueller is the last word for me, so i'm over, i'm

and we're not even going to get 20 statements from senate republicans commenting on this issue. extraordinary how they feel that there's no political consequence for them, not even to have a mild-mannered statement. there was a tweet tonight from a senator from hawaii saying, i'm hearing tonight, a bunch of senate republicans are really upset about this, and are planning to do nothing. that sums up where we are. >> i'm running out of time. barr got the benefit of the doubt from many. not all, but many, on his initial rounds of testimony. for example, the unsolicited memo. what about now? >> i think the senators were deceived, and i think he'll get a lot of tough questioning. it's going to be interesting. >> thank you, all. fascinating day. what a turn of events. we'll see what happens tomorrow, and the rest of the week. thank you. thanks for watching. our coverage continues. with less of the sugar you don't.

this is senate republicans, the chairman, and republican. you would think that senate republicans -- we just saw mitch mcconnell the day before saying let's move on from robert mueller. this is not the mueller probe. they are having their own investigation and the are working on it. they're bringing people back and want to hear -- they are bringing people back they want to hear from again. but the president was surprised. his son had already testified in jared kushner, his son-in-law had already testified, so he feels everything to be winding down now that the molar investigation -- the mueller investigation is over. being a father and having your son caught up in this, he will take this personally. host: we will bring in your phone calls. erica is first, democrat out of california. caller: i'm just annoyed. i haven't watched this program and a long time. i don't understand. -- [indiscernible] i would like to know. host: do you want to talk about the trump organization? guest: i would dispute one thing. it is hard to get attention because so

trump's son-in-law jared kushner and senior adviser stephen miller met with republican senators on tuesdaypublicans reportedly emerged with blaze for kushner and miller, but according to the "washington post," not everyone was impressed. an anonymous person familiar with the discussions said, quote, kushner didn't give many details and there were a number of instances where people had to answer questions because he couldn't. so just how do they plan to gain democratic support on immigration? it sure seems like they don't. after meeting with -- after the meeting senator lindsey graham said i don't think that it is designed to get democratic support as much as it is to unify the republican party around border security. joining me now, joe crowley and also carlos curbelo. great to see you both. i want to start with you, congressman, because immigration was obviously an issue that you played a big role in, you came up with a compromise. now it seems as though stephen miller and jared kushner is spearheading this immigration plan in -- they have started in the senate. but it is very unclear tha

we'll see if they open up the meeting today with republican senators. it doesn't look like it. tunity for these republican senators to come out and give us an update on immigration and potentially what's happening with the trade talks. because when you look at a lot of the headlines that are driving the markets, they are negative headlines, tapping with a professional trade deal or lack thereof with china. kristen. >> 21 of the aspects of this trade battle that is so fascinating. you have members of the own party like senator chuck grassley who will be at the meeting there concerned with farmers, in iowa, in other parts of the country. so this could potentially be tricky for the president, right? because they're concerned about this part of his policy, despite the fact the policy is showing strength right now, hans. >> reporter: layered on to that are concerns about the number of bankruptcies you are having, especially with dairy factories and farms in the upper mid-west. one quick note from the economy, there is a county that supported hillary and the counties that supported tr

leader mitch mcconnell declared the russia investigation was case closed on the floor of the senate, republican senator richard burr, the chair of the senate intelligence committee issued a subpoena for the president's oldest son, don, jr. this comes amid the epic showdown that nancy pelosi described as a constitutional crisis. the trump white house is essentially telling congress they are entitled to nothing. keep in mind as it continues to be true, they have given congress no documents. zero. they are invoking executive privilege. the house judiciary recommended to hold the attorney general in contempt and the saving grace of the white house in all of this is that republican members of congress have 100% fallen in line. now there is a break in the ranks and they are furious about it. senators rushed to show their own loyalty tow donald trump and the kentucky senator, donald trump, and rand paul tweeted apparently the chair didn't get the memo from the majority leader that this case was closed. the texas senator ted cruz who called donald trump a sniffling coward, serial phi landerer and patho

republican senator from north carolina, richard burr, chair of the committee, surprises mick mulvaney and others, obviously, with this, and his fellow republican senator from north carolina, thom tillis, puts out a statement to say, oh, i stand with mitch mcconnell. case closed. the difference between the two. thom tillis is running for re-election. richard burr is not. >> does anyone else feel icky? i feel a little icky. thanks, david. so shan, let's focus in on the mueller element of this. donald trump asserting executive privilege over the mueller report, even though privilege was waived already for the mueller investigation. can that impact what bob mueller himself can testify to if and when he testifies before congress? >> it certainly can. there's a threshold question, will mueller still be an employee of the department when he testifies. but whether he is or isn't, i think mueller is an institutionalist. he's going to want to defer to the department. he's not going to be at odds with their position on what he can do. he's going to let them fight out the knekative privilege issu

there's also, of course, that 2020 election to look forward to, there are a lot of republicans in the senateare up for reelection in tough states there. one republican senator i talked to said, quote, i'm not sure what our legislative agenda is right now. that person also said that they weren't even sure that you could find a member of the united states senate who could tell you what that agenda is. now, you know, some republicans basically say we would do more if we could, if we had the support of the house of representatives, but for now if democrats are going to block everything and take up so much time on the floor of the senate the best we will be able to do are nominees and they're okay with that. poppy? >> lauren fox, thank you very much. >>> as this feud intensifies a disturbing new trend is emerging, this is a really big deal. doctored videos or so-called deep fakes that look shockingly real. one such video of the house speaker nancy pelosi appearing to slur her speech at an event earlier this week has been made, it's been viewed millions of times on the internet, but it's not real,

senate majority leader mitch mcconnell, it appears at least in the senate including the republican-led senate, the kacase is not quite yet closed. we have now discovered according to sources that a number of weeks ago the republican-led committee issued a subpoena to donald trump jr. as far as we know this is the first subpoena issued by anybody on capitol hill related to any of the president's children. now, the issues here while still not totally clear appear to really run through two different tracks, and these were comments that donald trump jr. made related to a june 2016 trump tower meeting with russian individuals who are claiming they had dirt on hillary clinton as well as discussions he may or may not have had with michael cohen related to a potential trump tower in moscow. now, both of those issues were issues that donald trump jr. testified about previously. he's testified in front of three committees for dozens of hours. we know right now that while the committee has subpoenaed donald trump jr. there is currently a standoff. donald trump jr. is not planning on continuin

and the fact you have the senate intelligence scomity chairman, a republican, senator richard burr, subpoenaingr. to come back in to answer questions. and what i was really struck by in this moment when this was the moment that when you asked him about if it frustrated him that richard burr was doing this, that was the moment that donald trump decided to bring up election results and bring up election results in north carolina, which is where richard burr is from. i think that says almost everything. >> he's obsessed with the 2016 election still. and so he talks about it -- >> and the way he talked about it to you. it's like it surprised him because of election results that this would be happening. >> just because he won the state of north carolina, that means the senate and the house oversight committees can't actually do any investigating of people who had meetings with russian agents. so you know, he didn't say that he had called up richard burr and is yelling at him on the phone, but i think privately, there are a lot of people in the white house and republicans who think that it is an act

it is a republican senate chair who wants don junior to come back. rent from where we're seeing the republicans and how we're seeing them act on the house side, where they're in the minority and they're balking at everything that the democrats who are now in charge are asking of and for this white house. the fact that you have richard burr, who, he is retiring, so the political shackles are off of him. but still, i've covered him for a long time. the fact that he sees that it is important enough to threaten a subpoena, to get don junior, the president's own son, back before him, should have every stop a second and say, there has to be something that he truly is interested in, because he's not -- he's not the kind of player who would go this far, unless it was something that it was important and something that he saw, that all of us -- and he's a fellow republican. >> he's a member of the gang of eight, the most exclusive group that gets access to the most sensitive, classified information. lindsey graham is not a member of the gang of eight, but richa

senate republicans, house democrats. and trade talks between the u.sa and c continued on friday without a deal. the trump administration raised tariffs on $200 billion worth of good president trump sounded optimistic on twitter writing that his relationship with chinese president jinping xi remains strong and that tariffs could be removed. for now, reuters repts it may take three or four months for feel theshoppers to pinch but the tariffs could affect products from handbag to electronics to clothing. it is estimated the tariffs could cost the average u.s. family $760 a year. ter, trade has been a signature issue for the president. i think back to your january interview with the president, he's talking about tariffs, even with a deal with china, he wants xriffs to be a part of it. he's pushing jinpi to the brink. how does this play out?pe r: they felt the chinese had backed off of something agreed to during the talks,hat they had agreement on changes that would be made. the chinese were saying it would require us to chan

what senator kennedy is worried about, the republicans may rule the day when they challenge us and let the congressional congress have their powers limited. some day there may be -- >> do you think this is real among the senate? >> sure. >> this happened in 2011 wi withholder. -- with smz hoholder. now -- with holder. now it's a constitutional crisis with 1.5% of the mueller report that is still redacted and the underlying everyday. that's the constitutional crisis? >> donald trump, jr. is not a member of the executive branch. i think we shouldn't rush -- >> i wouldn't complain. i think it does sort of it drowns out i think what would have been a different story today. >> it complicates it. certainly. certainly. >> doug, i was going to say, to get to matthew's point here. you know, there was eight months that went from subpoena to contempt of eric holder, are democrats, it did seem as if they wanted to get to this contempt moment, rather than allowing to see, how often, could they get to any sort of negotiated piece? >> he's given bill barr every opportunity to comply. >> it's been wee

one of those senate republicans is john kennedy of louisiana.g many in his party a bit more sympathetic to attorney general bill barr when barr testified before the senate judiciary committee this week. senator kennedy joins me from a suburb of new orleans, kenner, louisiana. senator, good to see you. welcome back. >> thanks, chuck. >> before i get to the committee hearing, i want to get to the president's phone call with vladimir putin and his explanation of what happened in it and get your reaction on the other side. let me play it for the viewers. >> did you address the election meddling issues that came up in the mueller report with mr. putin today? >> we discussed it. he actually sort of smiled when he said something to the effect that it started off as a mountain and it ended up being a mouse, but he knew that because he knew there was no collusion. >> did you ask him not to meddle in the next election? >> we didn't discuss that. really, we didn't discuss it. >> what kind of lost opportunity did the president have there in trying to sort o

senate turns out to be a different story. there were a whole bunch of republican senators who wanted to join the house in making sure those sanctions stayed on deripaska's company. but the senate republican leader mitch mcconnell made sure that measure met a swift death on his side of the capitol. and so the trump administration was allowed to in fact lift those sanctions on oleg deripaska's aluminum company earlier this year. ka-ching. and since then there have been a couple of notable developments involving mitch mcconnell. first, oleg deripaska's company announced last month they have made a surprise decision to spend $200 million opening a new plant in mitch mcconnell's home state of kentucky. it'll come with a bow on it. it's a project they say will bring billions of dollars and thousands of jobs to mitch mcconnell's state. secondly, just before that deal, that present to mitch mcconnell was publicly announced, one of rusal's lobbyists was dispatched to give mitch mcconnell a heads-up about this big present he was getting from oleg. this heads-up that they'd

committee has rejected that as a proposal so they really still are at an impasse. >> what does republican senator richard burr of north carolina, the republican chairman of the senate intelligence committee which issued the subpoena, what is he prepared to do? >> he's in an interesting position here. he's being not supported by members of his own team. lindsey graham is saying don jr. should not come in. it's a testament of how strong a stance is he going to take on this. the senate intelligence committee is being a bipartisan committee doing a bipartisan investigation on this. he has the support of some there. the question is is he going to continue to push this? will he try to compel donald trump jr. to appear or is this something they're going to continue to negotiate? it doesn't seem like donald trump jr. is going to come back to the hill. the ball is in burr's court. what does he do now? >> if he comes back he could plead the fifth. >> he could come back, plead the fifth. i think his legal team wants to avoid the dog and pony show of it going to capitol hill so there are motivations to try t

senate and the white house. we didn't have that when republicans controlled the house and the senate and the white house and certainlyt now critically which democrats in the house and having such wide disagreement, with nancy pelosi on that particular hot button topic. when you ask a very smart question, how far can we take this bipartisan support? the answer is not very far. eric: this is what the wall street journal editorial said. quote democrats do not want to give mr. trump a victory in immigration before the election. and supporters do not want to deal period. the stem is likely to persist through the election which is a shame for the dreamers left in limbo and for employers that need more workers. at least mr. trump is acknowledging that america needs the world best talent. do you see any areas of compromise? whether it is moving from 12 percent to 57 percent to get more talented, skilled immigrants into our country. reducing some of the family ties. that the president has criticized. do you see any of those areas that could achieve some possible agreement besides certainly -- this will happen until after the

is going to respond to a subpoena issued by the republican chairman of the senate intelligence committee, even though on sunday the republican chairman of another senate committee publicly advised donald trump jr. to ignore that senate subpoena. >> if i were donald trump jr.'s lawyer, i would tell him you don't need to go back into this environment anymore. you've been there for hours and hours and hours and nothing being alleged here changes the outcome of the mueller investigation. i would call it a day. >> the 27 psychiatrists and mental health professionals who wrote the book about donald trump are going to have to find some time to explain lindsey graham. lindsey graham is the chairman of the senate judiciary committee, the committee with jurisdiction over our criminal justice system and our civil justice system. that's the committee that writes federal laws about, among other things, how federal subpoenas are enforced, and the chairman of that committee, who is a lawyer, is publicly advising a witness subpoenaed by the united states senate to ignore that subpoena. publicly advising
