[ laughter ] does stephen miller get a hair hard on when he talks about the wall? ght laughter ] "stephen, did you hear isis breaking arrest records?" eww! [ laughter ] stephen has a hair boner! [ laughter ] i mean, look at that thing. it would have been more believable if he just charlie brown-ed it. is that spray paint? or did he get the inauguration crowd tattooed on his head? [ light laughter ] trump was forced to turn to miller because of the unprecedented turnover in his administration. for example, after he announced the departure of his current chief of staff, john kelly, trump said he would replace kelly with someone who already works in the white house, mick mulvaney. and the white house said that on top of being chief of staff, mulvaney would also keep his current job as the director of the office and management and budget and the head of the consumer financial protection bureau. it's getting to the point where there's only going to be like four people left in this administration. and they're each going to have 30 jobs. [ light laughter ] "i'm pleased to

i believe if we zoom if there's a colony of ants living on stephen miller's head, and then he showed up to work today without the new hair. so, the witch hunts are really starting to add up. the president is the facing investigations, the trump organization, trump foundation, the transition team, the trump inauguration committee, the trump campaign, the trump administration, of course, donald trump himself. trump right now is basically a guy who got pulled over for a broken taillight and is praying the cops don't find the body in his trunk. it's a scary time for the president but fortunately help is just one doctor's note away. >> are you feeling depressed? experiencing moon swings? >> i am proud to shut down the government. >> prone to outbursts and the tantrums? >> you are a rude terrible person. you shouldn't be working for cnn. >> incoherent. >> bing, bing, bong, bong. >> becoming absent mooiinded an forgetful? now there is hope. foxycontin that delivers it direct to your brain and erases reality and replacing it with the knowledge that everything you're doing is great again. sto

i would assume stephen miller and jeff sessions jeff sessions is a friend of mine. we disagree on immigration. i think it's unreason to believe think you can round up 15 million people. we can concert our efforts to the people who shouldn't be in this country. >> senator, you're no longer on the intelligence committee. you were. yesterday they heard from the intelligence chiefs who reported to them what they see, their assessment of situations around the world. they said isis isn't gone, north korea doesn't want to denuclearize and that iran is abiding by the nuclear deal. basically they said without saying in the direct swords the claims the president made hasn't been born out by their intelligence. the president wrote this, he said the intelligence people have a passive and naive view when it comes to the dangers of iran. they are wrong. tick a step back not necessarily about iran but about the concept that the intelligence chiefs are saying one thing, the president is saying another. do you wish he would listen to them? >> absolutely. i was on intelligence last y

, and stephen miller should be fired. host: ok, tony, thank you. guest 1: tony has a great memory for history. there was a deal on the table porterding for trump's in conjunction with the deal to protect dr. recipient, deferred action for childhood arrivals, those again here illegally but as children, so they were not responsible for their own. and itt deal was hinked, remains to be seen whether something like that still could come together. i have not heard specifics of anything like that. i am are interested to see if that comes back to the table, especially since stephen miller is an influential voice in the white house right now. guest 2: there was a bipartisan deal in 2018 of the senate between senator -- and senator king. you need 60 votes to overcome a filibuster. wouldiece of legislation have codified the daca program, given these young, undocumented people after citizenship, and given trump $25 billion for the wall. democrats caves, which was a big step for them, and they did i t against the screaming flanks. wha

and to take a victory lap at the time, trump turned to his creepiest aide, senior advisor stephen millering ] [ witch laugh ] >> you rang? [ laughter ] >> seth: and miller decided to go on tv and make the president look good, "a," by comparison, and "b," by calling him a genius. >> on the campaign, i had the chance to travel all across the country with the president. and i saw a man who was a political genius. the reality is, is the president is a political genius. all these so-called political geniuses in washington, whether it be at the big lobbying firms or -- >> the only person who's called himself a genius in the last week is the president. >> which happens to be a true statement. >> seth: stephen miller is the only person on earth who'd be less creepy if he wore a hockey mask. [ laughter ] but hey, maybe some of trump's supporters still thought he was a genius. and yet, in the almost 12 months since that comment, trump has rambled at length about how people in finland rake the floors of the forest, left an umbrella outside when he couldn't figure out how to close it, got on air for

stephen miller is an investment advisor, here with us in sydney. great to have you. >> great to be here. haidi: i will start out with this library, looking at just how badly analysts missed the mark. at the start of last year, we talked about volatility being the new normal. we have seen a decline of 15% in terms of how badly they missed, the biggest miss on estimates since 2002. how did we get it so wrong? we knew the fed was going to normalize, we new policy would be a factor. >> there is always a mess in forecasting. beware of experts bearing forecasts. the reality is we forecast in an uncertain world. if it were not like that, we would never have recessions and would not have any volatility, and it would be perfect. that is certainly true of 2019. there's a myriad of possible outcomes. we might have a central case for you, but it is a central case for you and we should articulate it as a scenario among other competing scenarios, lb at -- albeit this mus might be the most likely one. a reminder, even if we issue forecasts about the equity ussiet

is this going to be like a stephen miller plus the con shop operation? >> it's notable that i've seen communications director bill shine kind of, who's a very behind the scenes guy, putting his name out there announcing that this oval office interview, statement, is taking place. so he wants to have some piece of that. stephen miller actually has been taking a more behind-the-scenes approach than you would expect on issue where he's considered the internal hardline immigration person pushing trump in this direction. but over the weekend in meetings, at staff-level meetings, he barely spoke according to people in the room. he wasn't at the table. he sat against the wall. he only chimed in a few times, so he's been quiet. he's, in addition to being a policy immigration adviser, he is a speechwriter, so i assume he'll be involved and usually these things are really group projects in the trump white house whenever me gives a teleprompter address. it's never really down to one author, it's a group endeavor in the past. >> yeah, mr. miller's coming off an unfo

, this adviser said that perhaps today was not a cave but a grave for stephen miller's hard line immigration policies. >> jim acosta, thanks very much. >>> want to dig deeper with maggie haberman. the president got the same amount of funding he could have gotten a month ago. why did he make this move? >> there were a bunch of issues going on. the broad one is that the president made a statement several weeks ago that he would own a shutdown. dps took him up on that and saw no reason to make a concession on something their base and the democratic house caucus members don't want to give in to, which is this border wall the president talked about for so long. and at that amount of money. he made a tactical mistake. he had to own it.and at that am. he made a tactical mistake. he had to own it. the president's poll numbers were going down. remember what close attention he pays to polls. you had that warning from the faa about airlines and airport security and planes being able to take off and fly. this morning you had a ground stop at la guardia, the airport in the president's hometow

like, say, outside on your balcony during a thunderstorm. [ laughter ] so, after stephen miller's charmsive didn't work, the white house turned to sarah sanders on tuesday to try yet another tactic. she went on fox news and said both that the white house was negotiating with congress over funding for they border wall and also they already have the money, so they don't need it. >> has the white house communicated to the senate what you're willing to accept -- >> absolutely. >> in terms of the dollar amount for a continuing resolution? what would that number be? >> we have. we've been in continuous and will continue to have these conversations. >> the president wants $5 billion. would he take two and a half billion? would that be an acceptable number? >> we would take -- we have other ways that we can get to that $5 billion. >> seth: wait, you do? then why are you asking congress for it? and why are you threatening a government shutdown? you're like a loan shark who doesn't need the money back. [ light laughter ] "pay up, or i have to take it out of my own bank account, which i'm more tha

had with that speech and more like his inaugural address who stephen miller was an old stone. pushing this tough line. the president son—in—law has taken a softer position over immigration over the last couple of yea rs immigration over the last couple of years and that was a position we we re years and that was a position we were hearing over the weekend. what was remarkable about the deal was how quickly was condemned notjust by democrats but by the president's own conservative base. almost the first in his presidency donald trump risk the raft of his base. conservative commentators said the steel amounts to amnesty to illegal immigrants. ann coulter to do this would be amnesty and the president does not like hearing this. we voted for trump does not like hearing this. we voted fortrump and we does not like hearing this. we voted for trump and we gotjeb bush. that isa for trump and we gotjeb bush. that is a problem for the president to cannot afford to alienate his base. police are dealing with two security alerts in londonderry in northern irleand, less than than 48 hours a

didn't work, trump turned to the most sinister member of his white house staff, senior adviser stephen millerunder ] [ evil laughter ] [ laughter nsller is the aide trump t to when he's desperate. he's like the creepy dude who's always hging around cersei lannister doing weird experiments on dead bodies., "stephild me a wall." "i can't do that my lord, but what if i told you i brought rudy giuliani back to life?" [ laughter ] "but i never died." "quiet, rudy!" [ light laughter ] after trump was outwitted in his meeting with democrats, miller tried to fix things by taking a much more aggressive tack.en heon cbs's "face the nation" and said democrats were endangering national security by not suorting the wall. and he immediately dialed up to 11. >> will he shut it down to get this $5 billion in border wall funding? >> we're going to do whatever is necessary touild the border wall to stop this ongoing crisis of illegal immigration. >> when it comes to a shutdown -- >> the largest increases -- >> are we going to have a shutdown over christmas? >> as you yourself acknowledged, the largest increase

take a look at this. >> we begin today with white house senior advisor stephen miller. the president's point person on policy. this federal judge and the decision to strike down obamacare is unconstitutional. [ light laughter ] this could put at risk about 20 million americans who rely on -- [ laughter ] medicare and medicaid. what is your reaction and how do you reassure those americans that they're okay? >> obviously, there is no change immediately in obamacare. [ laughter and applause ] >> jimmy: a little obvious. >> steve: he gave himself a a mustache? he painted a mustache on himself? this is ridiculous. >> jimmy: some more news. i read that right now there are 17 different investigations into trump, his administration and his businesses. there are so many, look at how cnn covered it this weekend. >> here's what we do know that is under investigation right now. the trump organization, the trump foundation, the trump campaign, the trump inauguration and the trump transition and the trump administration. >> jimmy: trump was like, "all i need is my casino to get inves

it's interesting, stephen miller, who is of course a very high-ranking white house official, his plan has been to change the asylum laws. even as the whe house says this is a democratic idea, it's really an idea that stephen miller backs. i should also add, larry kudlow, the director of the nationaec omic council, he was out at the white house today, and he said we understand there is b human sufferi at the end of the day, human security is at risk and we have to keep pushg for the president's plan. i just got off the phone with several source as well, they're not sure the president would pass aioemocratic veof this if it was topaz, even though it's a long shot, that it would pass. >> woodruff: not sure he would sign it if it would pass. thantime, there has been back-and-forth ove stu address which the president would give towards the end of january. what's the latest on that? >> t state of the union negotiations is basically a game of chicken right now. the president is saying, "i'm ing the state o the union. i'm going full on. i'm preparing as over the weekend the white house sent a

stephen miller is quoted as saying i would happy if not a single refugee ever touched an american soil. is the policy of this administration to get refugee resettlement down to zero? >> i'm not aware of any statement like that that stephen miller has ever made and that's not the policy of the administration. the president will undergo a yearly physical exam. we'll keep you posted. >> two questions. i want to go back to a question that was asked. here's this economy -- >> do you mind speaking up? >> i'm going back to what darlene asked of mr. kudlow. can this economy sustain with another government shut down? >> again, as i told jonathan, we don't want another government shut down. we want a deal that addresses border security. seems like it should be so simple. we are all in agreement that we need it. we're in agreement there's a problem. let's fix it. >> can the economy -- larry kudlow was hopeful and optimistic even though the numbers show otherwise. >> actually, the numbers don't show otherwise. the numbers show we have a strong economy. the numbers show that jobs grow, wages rise,

he's there with his kids and stephen miller, his close aide. and trump decides he's going to fire comey. and he and jared kushner and miller come up with this letter that trump is going to send to comey. trump comes back to washington, he tells his white house counsel, i'm firing the fbi director. and he gives him this letter. the white house counsel, don mcgahn, looks at it and says this is not a good idea to send. trump has references to the russia investigation in it. mcgahn thinks it's problematic. what happens in the two days that follow is mcgahn has rod rosenstein, the deputy attorney general, and jeff sessions the attorney general at the time, come over to the white house, and rosenstein agrees to write a letter for the president. you don't need to send that letter. i'll come up with a letter for you. you don't need to mention russia. the letter from rosenstein comes back the following day. it says comey mishandled the clinton e-mail investigation, sort of a different reason than trump ultimately wants to get rid of comey. that's the let

like, donald trump went out there and read a stephen miller litany of horror stories, which he's been doing since day one. >> in a nicer voice. >> in a nicer voice. i watched him do it in cleveland. you know, beheadings and rape, it's awful stuff to hear. there is genuinely horrific things that have happened, but to conflate them with the 12 million people living here is an incitement that is pretty ugly. we've heard that. >> it's a slightly different list of crimes that evolves over times. >> it updates. there are new crimes. >> but it is, you know, this office of immigrant crime stuff he has been trying to sell from the very beginning. the fact is, we've said it before we'll say it again, native-born americans commit crimes at a higher rate than non-native-born immigrants. >> all crimes. driving infractions. all crimes. >> it is a demagogic old saw to try to pick out horrific things you're trying to attribute to one minority group, particularly one powerless minority group in order to turn the majority against them. the president is singing that same song. it is exactly the same scr

acting through donald trump he is so determined and stephen miller is one of the many aides thatho has this uf mystic alt-right perceptive where nonwhite immigrants need to be locked out or deported or their naturalized citizenship taken away, there's too many relative to the population, but donald trump seems to be the most enthusiastic of all the policies fed to him by roger stone and others, this is the one that he seems to be the most married to. are we putting too much on a strategy that came from stone or that's coming through stephen miller and missing this is what donald trump is passionate about? >> well, he's passionate about it because he was able to rally audiences to it and he thought he could do something about it, although he utterly failed at that and should if he wanted a wall built taken care of it during the previous two years. we have a white house full of stone cold racists led by a man who is utterly heartless and doesn't care about you it's absolutely bizarre that donald trump in his inaugural addressed promised he would focus on the forgotten man just put

is it stephen miller? >> stephen mill sir among those at the white house who's definitely spearheading a lot of the megging that the president has been delivering on this issue, but obviously, they're trying to build a case against the democrats. that's something very important to them as they kick off this two-year period now where the dems hold the majority in the house. they really are gaming themselves for a long war, and they're trying to kind of paint that picture that the democrats are, indeed, basically preventing them from passing their agenda. and when the president actually has mentioned federal workers, not in those two big speeches but in various events at the white house, it's interesting to hear that he's really insisted that federal woeshgs nrkers notg a paycheck actually understand it and support it because they understand what he's doing for the wall. he's called on service industries to take one for the team and allow federal work toers van iou and not have to pay for services and rent un

does not have a history of being able to work across the aisle, neither do senior aides like stephen millerbefore he was in the white house was a top aide of jeff sessions and best known for scuttling immigration deals. it looks more and more like what you will need to get out of this is a broad, overall deal on something that would give democrats a bit so president trump can get what he wants. does not equipped and have people nearby who would pave the way for such a deal. another reason we are not seeing movement. section, the finance this iconic los angeles mall was once featured in a tom petty video and in movies like "clueless." carol: taking back to the teenage years. the mall has faded, unfortunately, and out is just a handful of shops. jason:'s best get a massive makeover and one new tenant: google. >> i will take you back to 1989. in" year the song "free fall by tom petty and he filmed the music video at the small, the westside pavilion. it was an iconic mall from the 80's, a popular place to hang out. the-forward to today about rise of online shopping, amazon, there is cap edition

guest: there are hardliners like stephen miller, one of the top domestic policy advisers, but the president listens not only to his advisers in the administration, that there are people in the outside and conservative media he is hearingg to and he is people rally around this position. why are they doing this? they feel the president is boxed in. how does he move off of his border wall demand without appearing to his base like he is caving, at the same time, he needs to get the government reopen if he wants to have a functioning administration at some level. there is a belief that declaring a national emergency brings that view to the forward and the public debate. some people are identifying with this national emergency idea. democrats have skepticism about the way the administration is portraying this. was skeptical the way the administration was framing this debate. they were using the migrant influx at the border as a way to get what they want on the wall and not addressing it in a bipartisan way. untilrobert costa with us 9:00 and to take your question on the current situation on the s

they clearly already started on stephen miller. ( laughter ) you monsters! he's a human being! or he was. if this sounds hysterical and crazy, remember -- in the past, we've relied on presidents to use self-discipline when it comes to emergency powers. restrain himself, but lincoln also knew how to close an umbrella. ( laughter ) but trump is going to have a hard time claiming that there's a national immigration emergency because, under his presidency, illegal crossings have hit a 20 year low. as republican political consultant stuart stevens put it, "there are numerous examples of presidential addresses made to calm a frightened public. this will be the first to frighten a calm public." ( cheers and applause ) ( piano riff ) that's nice. and to start stoking the fear, they even pulled mike pence away from his meal of tap water and hard-boiled toast to preview trump's speech on every channel -- >> he'll talk about the 17,000 people with criminal records that we've apprehended at our border. last year alone, 17,000 individuals with criminal histories were apprehended at our sout

look, stephen miller is almost surely going to be writing the speech and he is a true believer when it comes to the need to really, really change immigration policy. he's a true believer on some of the facts that don't exactly get put out accurately a lot of times and so the question is whether he is going to be fact checked and whether there are going to be a lot more eyeballs on this kind of speech as it should be, as dan will tell you, for any primetime speech. when you ask the networks for very, very important time in primetime when they are making a lot of money with very important programming, you better be as accurate as you hope to be and as you should be. >> networks are taking the president tonight. dan, how remarkable is it that there's even this debate to take an address by the president of the united states from the oval office? >> i think, you know -- the presidents ask for time all the time. they almost always get it. the networks have to make a decision with a normal president, this is not one, about whether the subject matter is worthy of the time. what is different wi

people on capitol hill refer to it as the stephen miller special because we know this is something he inserted to make this dead on arrival and we don't believe the president is seriously negotiating using that tactic. but i will say we have to challenge democrats and republicans alike because, as doug said, there are real people who are suffering. i spoke to some coast guard members who were literally having to good to food pantries. you have united states attorneys, some of which just graduated from law school, this is their first job out of law school who can't afford to eat because they don't have a savings built up. there are 800,000 people direct li affected. i know we praise my good friend speaker pelosi for her gamesmanship in running circles around donald trump, but we have to put up and do what's best for the american people. and that is in the shutdown doing whatever we can do, i think that's in the shutdown, push the date out till february 8th or whatever, and allow some negotiation period. but at least allow people to get their checks and get back to work. >> they were ta

not have a great history of being able to work across the aisle, neither do senior aides like stephen millerfore he came to the white house was a top aide of jeff sessions and best known for scuttling immigration deals on capitol hill. so it looks more and more like what you will need to get out of this is a broad, overall deal on something that would give democrats a little bit so that president trump can get what he wants. he is not equipped and does not have people nearby who would pave the way for such a deal. and i think that is another reason we are not seeing a lot of movement so far on the shutdown. jason: in the finance section, the iconic los angeles mall, the westside pavilion, was once featured in a tom petty video, "free fallin," and in movies like "clueless." carol: taking you back to your teenage years. the mall has faded, unfortunately, and now is just a handful of shops. jason: it is about to get a massive makeover and one new tenant, google. carol: let's get more from reporter lily katz. >> i will take you back to 1989. the year the song "free fallin" came out by tom petty

donald trump realize a stephen miller litany of -- >> in a nicer voice. >> the president made his pitchaddress that was riddled with things that were not factual. >> intriguing to me is how much it lacked any new information. >> you consider that speech, what a powerful argument it makes against the theory of evolution. [laughter] lou: well, no argument is quite as strong as the radical dems who were making those specious remarks. we'll take that up and much more right after the break. stay with us, we'll did you know with vanishing deductible, you can earn $100 off your deductible for every year of safe driving? sing that. ♪ vanishing deductible, you can... ♪ ♪ earn $100... ♪ earn $100 off... ♪ off your deductible. ♪ deductible. ♪ for every year of safe driving. ♪ ♪ for every-- for every-- ♪ ♪ for every year of safe driving. ♪ what are you-- what key are you in?

we know that donald trump is one advised by one stephen miller who is a hard liner against immigration was involved. jared kushner, interestingly enough, can you give us any inside into the crafting of this and who decided this was the way to go? >> reporter: if you listen to democrats in the lead up to this the last few hours, democrats have made it clear that they have not been consulted and obviously they're going to need to sign off from nancy pelosi for starters. they also need a significant number of democrats in the senate to reach a 60 vote threshold as it appears right now the initial reactions are that's not going to be happening. democrats are treating this as a sucker punch from president trump. he takes to the air waves on a saturday, he makes this what appears to be a dramatic proposal, at least that's how it's being staged at this moment and democrats say they have not been consulted. knapp just out with a statement in the last few minutes. she calls it a compilation of several previously objected efforts not a good faith effort. taken together these provision that's geo

you cover stephen miller -- >> seth: yeah. >> who isn't really known for doing anything that unites anybody heels. they are on their knees. they're in such a position of weakness. he's going to have to do something to sort of shake up his own political standing. >> seth: isn't it terrifying? and i know this happens all the time. is there nothing more -- or i would say -- i feel like the most terrifying thing in the world is donald trump needing to do something to shake it up. [ laughter ] >> rosie: yeah. please. >> yeah, yeah. >> seth: somebody going in like, "we've got to change the game." you're like, "no, i don't --" >> rosie: no, please don't. [ laughter ] >> seth: yeah. just, like, maybe like go back and read the rules of the game. >> right. [ applause ] >> seth: just to like see, like, what's normal! >> rosie: right. [ applause ] >> have pence do it. >> seth: pence do it. i can't -- i feel like he's going to do the whole state of the union, like, looking back at pelosi. >> right, right. >> seth: the fact that she's over his shoulder. >> yeah. >> seth: i mean she can -- >> that relatio

ah -- exhausted. [ applause ] yesterday white house adviser stephen miller went on "face the nation"lk about the wall. of people think he used spray on hair before -- it's real. [ laughter ] i'm not saying he did. but a lot ofeople are saying that he did. >> steve: a lot of people. >> jimmy: that he used spray on hair before his interview. this is a picture of miller before the interview and this is all real. then on tv, he lood like this [ laughter ] pele got suspicious when h went to get a hair cut at sherwin williams. [ laughter ] [ applause ] even weirder, he also sprayed some on his chest and under his arms -- [ laught s ] ve: really? >> jimmy: that's weird, yeah. well, if you actually watch the full interview, the spray on ha was pretty noticeable. i don't know. take a look at this. >> we begin today with white stephen miller.visor he is the president's point person on policy. this federal judge and the decision to strike down obamacare is unconstitutional. [ light laughter ] this could put at risk about 20 million ericans who rely on -- [ laughter ] mecare and medicaid. what i

they thought they had an agreement, and he went back to john kelly and stephen miller, who are really powers in the -- john kelly is now gone, but who nixed it. so i don't think that right now nancy pelosi or chuck schumer or anybody feels like when they are told, okay, we have a deal, that the deal is going to hold when they walk out of the room. >> which is why you cannot depend on the administration to do legislative -- have legislative authority. >> well, that's on mitch mcconnell. >> well, here's the other thing that we -- again, we haven't talked about. there is a way to bypass it. if you could get a super majority if tn the house and ine senate, they don't have to worry about what the president is going to do. so why aren't they having a meeting with kevin mccarthy and with nancy pelosi and chuck schumer and mitch mcconnell and get together -- >> because mcconnell -- >> i talked about that with immigration, also. it was just, we're negotiating with the administration when the legislative powers should be with congress. they're giving up the power. >> we'll leave it there. altho

let's acknowledge stephen miller for again doing a successful note for note recreation of 1933 nazi germany tone and the rhetoric of the language of that speech. what in the hell was that equating undocumented immigrants, who statistics show are the least likely people to commit crimes in this country, the equivalence of them being rapers and disease spreaders, when many of them come for a better life fleeing persecution or to contribute to our very american country. i don't think donald trump quite understands elections have consequences. the american people have already negotiated this on november 6th when they gave control of the congress to the democratic party. and i think what you're seeing in this speech, you're seeing another moment by this president who increasingly has been cornered, he increasingly recognizes this shutdown that he wholly owns is on him and on his responsibility, and he is growing more desperate. to nancy pelosi and the democrats, i think they should keep doing what they're doing. keep the ball in donald trump's court and maintain the position that this government

the times," one of those instances was a letter that trump wrote with the help of senior aide stephen miller before he fired comey, laying out the underpinning reasons for doing so. "the times" reported on that letter back in 2017 and notes that then white house counsel don mcgahn stepped in, prevented it from being sent. now, the second instance that troubled investigators, this one you've seen before, it happened in plain sight as it was broadcast to a national audience. >> i was going to fire comey. there's no good time to do it, by the way. >> in your letter, you said i accepted their recommendation. >> i was going to fire regardless of recommendation. >> so, there was -- >> he made a recommendation. he's highly respected. very good guy. very smart guy. the democrats like him. the republicans like him. he made a recommendation, but regardless of recommendation, i was going to fire comey. knowing there was no good time to do it. and in fact, when i decided to just do it, i said to myself, i said, you know, this russia thing with trump and russia is a madeup story. >> "the times" tonight r

yes, he says that and a hardline adviser like stephen miller keeps pushing him on this because he saido—called base, faced a choice. it is holding onto this vanity project of trump, the wall, all your security, your job, food of the table, making airports run effectively, making sure the fbi can carry out investigations, which do you choose, his slogan or chaos? he was losing .5% in approval rating each week so the choice is becoming clear. and going to ask you to be brief on the most coveted issue, the —— complicated issue, the robert and investigation on whether the russians investigated —— interfered in the election, we have another arrest, how is that going? the net is closing, paul manafort convicted, other trump advisers convicted, more arrests. in the spring, robert muller will probably published reports that will be naming trump himself and i think by the end of the year he will be asked to resign. we will follow this with interest, the developments in the united states. on a practical note, federal workers still living with the very real issues of how the bills are paid and th
