( laughter ) >> jon: oooooh! ooooh! ( applause ) >> stephen: g

>> stephen: wow!ne roddenberry would be proud! please, everybody, have a seat! thank you so much. please, sit, sit, sit! you're very kind, everybody. welcome, one and all, to "the late show." i'm your host, stephen colbert. you know how-- ( cheers and applause ) you know how we're all worried about the national debt, or, the deficit-- i don't know which one of those is which, but you know, they're both bad, you know... kind of like eric and don jr. i'm not sure. ( laughter ) well, guess what? you can stop worrying! because last night, president trump tweeted, "while the press doesn't like writing about it, nor do i need them to, i donate my yearly presidential salary of $400,000 to different agencies throughout the year. this is to homeland security. if i didn't do it, there would be hell to pay from the fake news media!" ( laughter ) you can't say you don't care if anybody knows about it, and at the same time announce it to the world on twitter! that's like naming a building, "the anonymously donated

>> stephen: beautiful. >> jon: how you doing? >> stephen: beautiful, just great.verybody. thank you so much! ( cheers and applause ) i'm very excited, one of our very favorite people seth rogen is here tonight. >> jon: yes.

( laughter ) of course, the biggest story in america is "avengers: endgame." did anybody see it this weekend? ( cheers and applause ) jon, have you seen it? did you see it? >> i haven't seen it yet. >> stephen: i saw it last night with the family. it's a 182-minute epic, wrapping up 21 movies telling one massive story. there's been ups and downs, rivalries and infighting, but the heroes put their differences aside to fight the true villain. you hear that democra

>> stephen: i don't know. >> why? what is it? >> stephen: dangerous?ous. >> i guess so. i guess so. alright, whatever. i can be one of the silly blue guys. i don't care what it is that i would be. ( laughter ) >> stephen: silly blue guys, th is racist ( >> just something. >> stephen: not all the blue guys are silly! >> no, that's true. you're right. that's terrible of me. >> stephen: now, you're also executive producer of a great show called "lodge 49." >> that is correct. >> stephen: it's on all kinds of "best of" lists. >> yes, it's a wonderful show in its second season. >> stephen: on amc. you'll be starring next year. >> i won't be starring in it but showtime has allowed me to do a few episodes of it. so i'm going to be in it a little bit. i will appear in three episodes of it. it's a wonderful show. >> stephen: it's on showtime? >> no, it's on amc. >> stephen: you said showtime. >> well, because i'm involved in another-- >> stephen: oh, because showtime will let you out, take you off the leash and let you run. >> exactly. >> stephen: sure. you're

. >> stephen: exactly.. >> to the point. >> stephen: just the facts. >> short, sweet, and to the point. >> stephen: well, you and i have dealt with the sometimes awkward aspects of an interview. >> yes. >> stephen: by instead really doing nothing. >> yeah. >> stephen: doing nothing, not talking. and having a cocktail. so... tonight i thought let's switch it up, no cocktails. >> okay. >> stephen: but i'll give you-- do you mind if we do this? this is one minute. and we won't talk for one minute. >> okay. >> stephen: and... go. ( laughter ) ( cheers and applause ) >> oh! okay. thanks. >> stephen: shhh. >> good. oh! ( applause ) thank you. thank you. ( cheers and applause ) ( cheers and applause ) >> you know i'm trying to lose some weight so this is... ( laughter ). >> stephen: that's exactly a minute. there you go.

>> stephen: you know -- >> jon: yeah. >> stephen: -- so good to be here.eople, they give and they give. ( cheers and applause ) thanks, everybody! jon, when i'm over here, what does that mean? >> jon: more monologue. >> stephen: means we couldn't fit it into one act. so here we go, folks. before the break, we were talking about the conclusions of the mueller report. and here's one of the big ones -- trump may or may not have obstructed justice, but it ain't for lack of trying. ( laughter ) because "the president's efforts to influence the investigation were mostly unsuccessful, but that is largely because the persons who surrounded the president declined to carry out orders or accede to his requests." ( applause ) okay. okay. it's a shock to find out, both, which associates declined to carry out his orders, and what they declined to do. like his former campaign manager corey lewandowski, who did not deliver the president's message to attorney general jeff sessions that he should confine the russia investigation to future election meddling only. ( audience

i'm your host, stephen colbert. ever since-- ( cheers and applause ) ever since that fateful day when donald trump slouched down the escalator of destiny ( laughter ) he has been obsessed with one thing: himself. but also immigration. immigration is what he ran on. immigration is the threat he sees on the horizon. immigration got him two of his wives. ( laughter ) but-- there's been-- ( cheers and applause ) lovely women. lovely, lovely women. but there's been a huge spike in illegal immigration since trump took office, and he looks like an idiot. ( laughter ) i'm not sure which of those things came first. ( laughter ) so he's mad. he's hopping mad. during a recent meeting about immigration with top officials, trump was "ranting and raving, saying border security was his issue." sir, don't sell yourself short. you have tons of issues ( laughter ) ( cheers and applause ) commitment, trust, daddy. ( laughter ) so trump is making changing now, a lot of them. on sunday, he demanded the resignation of former secretary of

>> stephen: okay. about trump and russia, but you're running on gun reform. you've partnered with parkland students, you're doing a town hall when? >> tomorrow we're launching the campaign from parkland at the b.b. & t. center down there. it's going to be a town hall. ( cheers and applause ) >> stephen: congressman, why is gun reform your issue? >> too many kids are dying and nobody in washington is doing enough about it. i'm bringing my wife, our son nelson and daughter cricket, and we're going down there to talk to these kids. they've already figured out the solutions are: background checks, investing in gang violence and prevention programs and banning and buying back all 15 million assault weapons out there. we have to do that first. ( applause ) >> stephen: thank you for announcing on our show. and i don't want you to leave empty handed. we want to give you a parting gift. we've made you some lawn signs. >> huh-oh. >> stephen: we have swalwell, easier to say than buttigieg. >> just slightly. ( app

hi. >> stephen: hi, nice to have you on. >> nice to be here, stephen. right off the bean here. >> just two? good. >> stephen: yeah, before we get to any of the other questions, one just occurred to me because john was saying before -- what did you hear, john? johzach plays the piano, too. >> a little bit. >> stephen: you heard a story about his face. >> jon: yes, i heard it's named shelly. >> stephen: your beard. it's sheila. >> jon: oh! sheila. ( applause ) >> stephen: wow. but i did name it. it's very close to shelly, but it's sheila. i also have a merkin. you know what that is? >> stephen: yeah, i'm an adult. >> are you proud to be a& a mer? ( laughter ) >> stephen: if you shave it, will you have a different name for a different beard. >> will always be sheila. >> stephen: you've done stand up, tv, web series. where do most people know you from when they stop you on the street or yelling at you going down the sidewalk. >> usually i just hear, hey, sheila! ( laughter ) >> stephen: do you go, i'm here, too? >> the other day, i was in venice, i was walk

>> stephen: yes, yes. money not running for president, you bet i will. >> there you go. ( laughter ). >> stephen: now, you're also a retired romance novelist. >> i am. >> stephen: heavy on the "retired." >> i'm on prolonged hiatus. >> stephen: prolonged hiatus. you did not write under your own name. and your name is. >> celina immigrant. >> stephen: why not your name? >> my name was boring. i wrote my masters thesis on the unrelated business income tax. >> stephen: that is sexy right there. >> that's what my editors thought. so we decided -- and this was at the advent of google. so if you googled my name, you would have pulled up that and an article i had wrias in high school on mesopotamian astronomy. so it would have been like reading romance by alan alan lightman, neither of which is exciting so i came up with the sued nam, serena immigrant. >> stephen: i have an excerpt and these had to be cleared with standards and practices at cbs, and there is some of this, they said, i can't read. if you're going t

>> stephen: sure.>> stephen: it's that humanity. >> yes. >> stephen: and i said this when you and i were both honoring julia at the kennedy center last year, is that it's the ability for the show to bring humanity to these people that makes me feel sorry for these politicians-- a feeling i normally don't have. ( laughter ) >> yeah, and it's true. you see a little more, behind the scenes, that they are human beings, and they obviously have-- there's a lot of ridiculousness. >> stephen: any spoilers? any spoilers you can tell us? >> it gets-- it gets-- >> stephen: you and salina hook up, or anything like that? >> we get married. >> stephen: you get married? there it is. >> there it is, guys. no, the dysfunction gets worse. it gets worse, we are drunk on dysfunction. >> stephen: that's great. >> it's bad. >> stephen: you have-- next for you, you have a netflix series called "archibald's next big thing." >> yes! >> stephen: what is that? >> oh, i'm excited about this. ( laughs ) i really am. >> stephen: wo

>> audience: stephen! stephen! stephen! stephen! stephen! >> stephen: thanks, everybody. ( cheers ) thank you very much. please, have a seat, everybody. too kind. ( cheers ) sit, sit! thank you very much! very nice. thank you all for being here. welcome to "the late show." i'm your host, stephen colbert. ( cheers and applause ) it is-- jon, you hear that? >> jon: yeah. >> stephen: you hear that? what's that? >> jon: that's a friday audience. >> stephen: that's a friday audience right there, 100%. ( cheers and applause ) you could-- you can cut that audience open and count the rings of friday in there. it's been a great week for everybody, especially donald trump. i'm sorry, i meant to say horrible week, because the democrats in congress have demand his tax returns, his financial records and the mull mueller report. to embarrass him next, they're going to ask him what his children's birthdays are. (as trump): "i plead the fifth of june? is that one of them? how about the fourth of july? that's something, right?" and it's all gotta sting, beca

>>> stephen colbert is up next. captioning sponsored by cbs >> so the wait is almost over for the release of the redacted version of the mueller report. >> ...release of the redacted mueller report. >> how much will be redacted? >> the mueller report is about to be released, and audible has the exclusive audiobook. listen to the report come alive as read by noted five-time tony award-winning actor, leslie brickhill. >> on june 9, 2016, donald trump jr., the president's son, met with kremlin lawyer, natalia veselnitskaya at trump tower. also in attendance were jared kushner and paul manafort. in exchange for hillary clinton's emails, the trump team agreed to-- >> redacted! redacted! redacted! ( laughter ) >> and gilbert gotfried as the redaction. >> and they made plans to meet again in prague. in 2017, president trump invited f.b.i. director james comey into his office where he demanded-- >> reeee-dacted! redacted! ( laughter ) >> a shaken comey returned to his office. in 2018-- >> give me a re, give me a dac, give m

the officer says he began talking to stephen about what had happened to jody when stephen interrupted>> he finally looks at me and he goes, you don't believe me. >> and then the officer says scharf said something that almost knocked him off his feet. >> i said i believe an accident occurred. and i said, was it an accident? and he put his head down and he said, "no." >> ehrenberg believed that was a stunning confession. he ran to tell the other detectives, including lineham. but they had just spent hours grilling the man. >> we weren't getting that feeling, that a reinterview at that point would have done anything. >> the detectives still believed they could find solid evidence to implicate stephen scharf, but they didn't. >> we took it as far as we could go. it hadn't been -- the cause of death at that time was listed as undetermined. so officially it wasn't a homicide. >> in time the detectives moved on to other cases. stephen scharf moved on too. 14 years after his wife's death he remarried. tina scharf says he's been a loving, ideal husband. >> it was like we were two puzzle pieces

i'm your host, stephen colbert. you know how-- ( cheers and applause ) you know how we're all worried about the national debt, or, the deficit--

take stephen curry, great basketball player. you pay him a fair amount of money to wear your shoes and he likes them, but if he comes over your house and wants to play horse, does he let you win because you are paying him a lot of money every year? kevin: i would be troubled if i won a game of horse against stephen curry. that would be a problem. david: what about if you want to swim against michael phelps, does he let you win? kevin: i don't know if i'd try that. david: what about tom brady? does he throw you the ball softly? kevin: i think these guys have only one speed. david: if you could be a great athlete like we just mentioned or you could be the ceo of an athletic apparel company, what would you rather do? be a great athlete or be the ceo? kevin: i would pick the ceo every day of the week. maybe not every day of the week, i don't know. [laughter] that's probably a better question than i gave it credit for. david: thanks. [laughter] kevin: you still get hit like in sports. they still write about it afterwards what happene

stephen schwarzman. guy: looking forward to that. socialist pedro sanchez is looking forward to returning to the prime ministership in spain, but he needs help from other parties. who is he going to turn to? spain's lead candidate for a seat in the european elections. your candidate ruled out forming a government with mr. sanchez. however, many political commentators see such a coalition as being one of the most stable on offer. party, hard no from your or is there some flux ability here? -- some flexibility here? guest: no, it is a clear and very hard no. we have run a very clear on what we felt of the deal sanchez made with the separatists, and we are not going to joint and any sort of coalition with sanchez. we are a big political force in spain, we are not going to betray any promise that that is not going to happen. guy: that means probably mr. sanchez is going to have to turn to the catalans to get 176 seats that he needs. is that good for spain? let me just first say that the catalans are a very d

where do you stand on stephen king stories? have you read stephen king? yeah, yeah. have because you have done a phd in horrorfiction. i have, thank you for bringing that up. doctor kermode. doctor kermode, exactly. so pet sematary is... when stephen king first wrote it he thought it was too dark to publish and the novel itself is pretty dark. there was a version of the film made in 1989, now we have a remake of it. so, the story is that a family have been living in a town, move to rural maine where the forest is now in their new back door. it looks wonderful, it's going to be a new opportunity, the father will be able to spend more time with his kids, except that in the forest there are some strange things, like processions of children dressed up like extras from the wicker man, with a wheelbarrow and the dead pet in it going out to the pet sematary, misspelt on the title. and beyond the cemetery itself, beyond the dreadful is something even more suspicious. here is a clip. saw these in the trees up there. yeah, they're warnings. the local tribes carved them before

sure, i mean stephen, pa rt may's fete.u‘ve got differing ideas over in brussels as to how long an extension should be, it‘s because the french and mr is making it clear that we could just bea making it clear that we could just be a big old pain over the next year. blocking all kinds of things, further integration, messing up how they go about trying to get a new leader of the commission and so on and for. also that means that could mean in the fig and extension was a year until the end of this year, that could mean problems as far as the european elections are concerned, and all of that kind of stuff. yeah, the fear is that not made or what comes after, what happens of theresa may steps down and is replaced by a hard brexiteer, like borisjohnson, that's a thing that european diplomats, whenever they talk to people that say they are really worried about. and macron is saying maybe we should have a shorter extension, but actual think that the crucial thing about what he's saying is not what he's saying right now, but to comp

as much as people here in washington try to turn stephen miller into the boogie man in all of this, stephenler has been following the marching orders of this president and this advisor was very candid in saying a lot of this responsibility, a lot of this blame lies with the president, anderson. >> jim acosta, thanks. joining us now is david urban and former south carolina democratic state representative bakari sellers, both cnn political commentators. david, do you think it's a good idea for the president to double down on this child separation policy by not only reinstating it but expanding it, or there's this separation light policy as well? >> anderson, this is a situation where there is an incredible crisis on the southern border. whether you're a republican or democrat, i think everybody agrees this is unprecedented. you had jeh johnson, you've had "the new york times," everybody -- folks from this network have been down there and chronicled how bad it is. and so the issue is what do you do to try to stem that crisis. what do you do to try to keep people from crossing. you heard some o

it's stephen miller. it is stephen miller. it is stephen miller. >> mayor, before we go, what would your message to the president be tonight? >> well, we're an incredibly successful community in the city of san jose because almost 40% of us were born in a foreign country and we have one of the highest per capita incomes, one of the lowest violent crime rates. immigration makes us a great community and makes us a great country. so i'd urge the president to follow the law and stop using immigration as a political threat. >> all right, thank you all three very much. >>> and next, breaking news. deputy attorney general behind closed doors revealing new details about what's in the mueller report. >>> plus pete buttigieg says his experience as mayor gives him an advantage in the 2020 race. >> put simply, downtown south bendi bend is back. >> so do residents of south bend, indiana, agree? >>> and opposition to stephen moore's nomination to the fed is getting very loud. when did you see the sign? when i needed to create a better visit

news up next today's biggest business stories you tell me business with stephen is right after the break stick around. i'm scared that if i work that hard and in the end is a me you're not allowed to stay here anymore we will send you that. are you familiar with this. with the smugglers would lie and say. what's your story. of numbers and women especially in victims of violence. take part and send us your story we are trying in all ways to understand this new culture. are not even a turn off and yet you want to become citizens. in full migrants your platform for reliable information. u.s. says no more exceptions to its oil export sanctions on iran so will it really go after major importers like india and china and what could today's announcement and iran's reaction mean for the global oil trade. and what's the proper work life balance ali baba's jack ma says chinese employees should spend more time working but the country's rising middle class isn't so sure we'll take you inside the debate. i'm stephen birds in berlin thanks for joining us the white house has announced the end of waivers

stephen: no.e, if you look at the military -- cumulative increase, it is miniscule. the idea that there will be this chinese stimulus that causes a insive v-shaped recovery asia or the global economy is false. overall, three things contribute to an uncertainty or somewhat bearish stance on china. one is the trade tension. the increasing dominance in state control. that creates uncertainty. the other is deleveraging and the financial stability risk. they were in a prolonged period of a deleveraging campaign prior to the start of the trade wars. that raises questions of how much stimulus they can add. so overall, uncertain. the edmund shing, is chinese stock market a "real stock market?" [laughter] edmund: no. i think it is fair to say. sector ine banking particular is far too manipulated by government policy, because it is an arm of government policy, to some extent. when i look at the chinese stock market, i like to look at asia and local shares. if you look at the a-share index, you have a higher

one is stephen miller. the president's senior president adviser who, as the president himself has been there since the beginning and the campaign and whether he has been officially tasked with it or unofficially has taken over the immigration portfolio and this other player who is also on immigration, jared kushner, the president's son-in-law. who in a number of white house fights often end up on top simply because he is the president's son-in-law. and they have both been tasked as of now with desperate pieces of the immigration puzzle. stephen miller is leading this week's set of threats and bluster and tough talk and rhetoric on the southern border and jared's philosophy is a bit different. the sort of bipartisan thing that democrats and republicans and the american public could accept. and the interesting question is basically, it has been described to me that people think that jared may have his finger on the pulse of what could pass congress and what the american public might be happy with. but the cha

stephen i have three questions for you. mentioned that president trump was upset about the commitment of other nations and their defense budgets but realistically, weren't they more --cerned that by making nato that a conflict could happen and that is why the united states went too deep into eastern europe with nato members and --t is the real reason, guest: i don't actually accept the senior believe military planners and the secretary of defense are fully committed to the defense of our european allies and the increase of our commitment. as far as the decisions nato made to augment the presence in several states in eastern europe that were seen as under the three baltics and poland, the aired states had a small presence and we now have three battalions as part of the so-called enhanced nato forward presence. it is not up to the russia border, and certainly the russians don't like it but it is by no means a presence that could be seen as anything that is going to threaten russia. it is much too small to have offensive capab

stephen miller is reminding him why is it a good idea to go in that direction.undamental misunderstanding to think miller is a puppet to go in the direction he is not comfortable. >> i'm curious, ashley. what did you learn about stephen miller? did you get a sense of what motivates him? he is a mysterious character more so than jared kushner. >> stephen miller is fascinating. the senior policy adviser, but focuses on one policy. immigration. he has always been driven by immigration and restrictive hard-line approach. for miller, for all of that, he is playing the long game. unlike the other aides who are no longer in the white house, he wants to be here for four years or eight years. he believes driving immigration policy. he will not try to knife the president's son-in-law in the backhim. that is why you see them uneasily cou exists right now. >> that is because you think when push comes to shovel, if the president has to choose, your money is on kushner? >> it's a tough call. kushner is in many ways untouchable because of the familial ties to the president. th

david glosser, uncle of stephen miller.is a retired neuropsychologist and d former faculty member at boston university school of medicine and jefferson medical college. dr. glosser works as a volunteer with refugees in philadelphia. last year, he wrote a piece for politico magazine headlined "stephen miller is an immigration hypocrite. i know because i'm his uncle." dr. glosser, if you can respond to this speech that president trump gave to the republican jewish coalition as he talked , aut the country being full makeshift think of the msa close and world war ii that the u.s. would now not allowed to dock with over 900 jews were eventually sent back, many of them to die. stephen miller, who president trump is working with even more closely, if possible. your thoughts? >> i have a couple of points. thank you for inviting me to speak. first point i would like to make, i think as a general point about racial hatred. one group treat another group. the greater need to demonize that in order to justify the exploitation of them. h

a white house official said stephen wants to put attila the hun as director of i.c.e. ashley, how much i miller shaping immigration policy at this time and wha does it reveal to have this nomination pulled? ashley: stephen miller has alwaeen the driving force on immigration and throughout theid prcy, it seems the president will flirt a little bit with democrats, maybe offer up something on daca and when he's pulled back, it's stephen miller. the president's gut instinct is that far right, a position he's taken for decades, if you read his books, what he's said before. busit's stephen who has alw been doing this but to see this nomination pulled, miller is absolutely behind this. he was one of the people the president's ear about this and "the post" also reported that the president in the oval office told a group of people stephen miller is in charge of immigration now. while it was always the case, t have the president codify it in the oval was office, elevates stephen even more as we head into 2020 where immigration will be a divisive issue that the president tries to

likes stephen miller's position and hard line views on these issues. and so i don't know that he has a carte blanche. i don't think anybody has a carte blanche, not even president trump, but president trump is certainly allowing him to steer immigration policy, feeling very much that this is the policy that got him elected in 2016. feeling very much that his supporters are demanding this. are demanding that he be tougher on this issue. and that is why the threats to close the border and so on. >> it's one thing to move people out who don't fit with the direction that stephen miller or the president want to take immigration policy. it's another thing to have these vacancies and need to fill them. is there any concern based on what you're hearing within the white house about how difficult that may be moving forward? >> let me say that administration-wise, so without getting specific as to what building people i'm talking to are sitting in, administration-wise, there is a concern. obviously, look, there is a humanitarian crisis at the border, period. full

stephen: yeah, they remain confident. as it was a year ago, but it's got a good footing at a lower growth level. ♪ ♪ taylor: this is "bloomberg best." i'm taylor riggs. let's resume our roundup of the week's top business stories with the sudden resolution business -- sudden resolution in the business dispute stories with between apple and qualcomm. emily: apple and qualcomm agree to end a $2 billion legal battle over licensing fees. >> it is not a surprise they were eventually going to go down this road. apple was denying it was nearing a settlement, whereas qualcomm has been talking up a settlement for months now. they both benefit. apple now has a clear path to releasing new iphones and ipads next year in 2020 with those faster 5g networks to be compatible with those, and qualcomm sees its business model being certified and vilified here with apple being in agreement with them by settling, so to speak. guy: president trump renewing the attack on the federal reserve, tweeting that the stock market could be as much as 10,

stephen: i think we should be worried. there is no natural way in which countries end up being democratic. it is true that there are wealthiest countries in the world, countries that have governments that are effective and constrained. given that, one would think democracy would sweep the world. it is not necessarily been the case. we have been subject to very dynamic changes. look at the technological revolution, which we are sitting in the middle of. the first industrial revolution, it went from 90% aquarium to 5%. -- agrarian 10 5% agrarian. you had two world wars and between that. if any of you have seen the movie "dunkirk," imagine if the sea had been rough when the british were trying to evacuate troops from the continent of europe. they might not have been successful. sued for ahave separate piece. -- peae. -- separate peace. maybe world war ii would have ended up the same way but maybe not. if you're thinking about reaching consolidated democracy, there is an element of luck to it. no guarantee that it signals the

there's zero chance stephen miller is putting ideas in this president he doesn't want. he likes the harshness of the message that you come here, you're going to lose your kid. you're going to have to find them. we're going to send you out of here and you'll be telling stories that will be waking you up for weeks. he likes that. he thinks it will be a deterrent, it will keep people away and more and more of trump supporters are saying something i've never heard americans say before, not mainstream americans, that lady liberty, that's not a law, that's not a policy, that's just a poem. i've never heard that in this country before. and everything he's saying is -- >> the asylum seekers, many people who came as immigrants were seeking asylum, people who were probably saying that, who agree with the president. if we're all full up, what's next? are we going to stop families from having children if we're all full up? >> we've seen societies do it. >> i'm saying it makes absolutely no sense. stop having babies, the country is full. >> what's more likely is what his mentor and

where do you stand on stephen king stories? have you read stephen king? yeah, yeah.rfiction. i have, thank you for bringing that up. doctor kermode. doctor kermode, exactly. so pet sematary is... when stephen king first wrote it he thought it was too dark to publish and the novel itself is pretty dark. there was a version of the film made in 1989, now we have a remake of it. so, the story is that a family have been living in a town, move to rural maine where the forest is now in their new back door. it looks wonderful, it's going to be a new opportunity, the father will be able to spend more time with his kids, except that in the forest there are some strange things,

>> we're seeing here, kate, the rise of one of the president's top advisers on immigration, stephen miller, and how he's using his influence within the west wing to make some key personnel changes. now, nielsen was not a -- sorry, miller was not a fan of nielsen. also not a fan of a lot of other people in the west wing, according to our sources. that he's eyeing the director of the department of citizenship and immigration services as well as the general counsel over at dhs for departures in the coming weeks. this is reflective of the fact that miller has been given a broader portfolio of immigration and border issues. the president has empowered miller to deal with those issues. what that's meant is he's throwing his weight around on key personnel decisions and also pushing the president even further toward some more hard-line positions on the border, causing the president to sour even more on secretary nielsen. one of those key policy disputes, we're learning, is over this issue of family separation. a source telling our evan perez that the president has in recent weeks been trying to ge
