congressman steve king said negotiations should start with one simple question, who and how many would each side deport. and the super secret fisa memo could be made public when the state of the union speech on tuesday. we have new details on what's happening on monday and more evidence that bill wasn't the only clinton mistreating women. a shocking new report about a hilary cover-up on her 2008 presidential campaign. but first, trump exposes the fanatics is the focus of tonight's "angle." the president's visit to davos was by any measure a smashing success. he engaged world leaders on the sidelines and he delivered a speech that was disciplined, serious and unapologetic. >> i will always put america first just like the leaders of other countries should put their country first also. but america first does not mean america alone. >> laura: the president delivered a calmed and right-hand defense of economic nationalism at the same time showing respect to our international allies. despite how well the president performed, the media will never give him a fair shake. it's pathetic. here's w

is steve king can actually win an election in iowa. in 2016, we had a presidential campaign. donald trump won our party's nomination. lindsey graham didn't even make it to the starting line. the american people have made it clear, certainly republican voters have made it clear, that they want donald trump's approach to immigration. which is strong on our border, and focused on american workers when it comes to legal immigration, but also being generous to the daca population. giving them legal protections. >> that's you, mr. cotton. you're a big generous kind of guy. let me go to charlie. as aunch there's a yiddish word that explains everything that we don't have the english word for, mish agause. this is the united states government. these guys know we have a hot immigration issue. all men and women, note of every ethnic group north and south, knew we had an immigration issue, knew we had a daca issue on the table, knew we had a deadline, knew the government has to get funded. all of this is foreknowledge. here we go to midnight. why

. >> i like steve king. i didn't mean it as a slam, i just disagree with steve king. steve king is an official but i think is unaligned with the country but is a nice guy. so senator cotton jumped into the immigration debate, good form but he's got some proposals tease had for more than a month and nobody is. all i'm is that, and i appreciate in the fact that he's involved in our shower. >> uh-huh. >> is he the only spokesmember? >> no, i've talked to other spokespeople. it's not so much about the time, it's the commitment that we're going to get a result. so the february 8th proposal makes sense to me. sara mcconnell is saying we're going to deal with all the issues, which is a major breakthrough. >> you're listening to south carolina senator lindsey graham there who said some really interesting things there, also underscori underscoring. he said i'm very concerned with where this goes if they don't come to an agreement tonight. he also met with. >> reiterated a lot of what he said earlier, but perhaps he gave a little more detail after susan collins and others were

but, also, have you got immigration and, you know, steve king was just in your seat a moment ago.thinks that the president's plan is amnesty and there is a republican who, right now, is not going to vote for it. >> well, this president has a lot of points to his plan. he has said the wall is being built. he has asked for $25 billion for a physical wall but also for technological enhancement. he gets that from talking to the people at the border. we should respect what they say that they need. >> his plan talks you will chain migration and visa lottery system. you are right, steve, we want bipartisan support. the president has said that from the beginning though. he wanted bipartisan support for the tax cuts. knowing that this is going to lift all boats and that you don't look at it right -- you don't look at it red and blue. you look at it as big job creators in this country. but, infrastructure, i can't think of a more partisan issue looking for bipartisan solution. infrastructure, you look at just our air traffic control system alone. it was built for a time when we had roughly

difference between steve king and lindsey graham, he said steve king with win in iowa. he said more on what trump ran on and cotton intends to hold the president to those promises. the fact that those two men are standing within swinging arm distance of each other is probably a good sign. it's at least an interesting one. the body language doesn't look great, if lande say graham and tom cotton are talking about the contours of anything that has to do with immigration, again, something is in the works. >> sheldon whitehouse is moseying over to the republican side of the u.s. senate, garrett, thank you. this moment cries out for a learned smart man and luckily we have one standing be i to talk to us, a pulitzer prize winner and historian john meacham. if you were writing a book oh, i don't know, "profiles in courage "tonight, would there be anything after the forward? >> well, you know, the kennedy used to say, there is a reason it was one volume in terms of the prevalence of courage. i was just watching the with you and it occurred to me this is what government would loo

said the difference between steve king and lindsey graham is that steve king can win in iowa. and brought this back to the idea that cotton is more in line with what the president ran on, candidate trump's immigration policy, and cotton intends to hold the president to those promises. so the fact that those two men are standing within swinging arm distance is probably a good sign, it's at least an interesting one. the body language doesn't look great. if lindsey graham and tom cotton are talking about the contours that have anything to do with immigration, again, something is in the works. >> now sheldon whitehouse is moseying. i think that's officially a mosey, over to the republican side of the senate. garrett, thank you. this moment cries out for a learned smart man, and luckily we have one standing by to talk to us. pulitzer prize winner at that and author and presidential historian john macemployejohn, anything after the forward if you were writing a book tonight? >> well, you know, kennedy used to say there is a reason it was one volume in terms of the prevalence of cour

steve king has made, as you know, very inflammatory and derogatory comments about immigrants and that is quite an accusation. tom cotton has taken a hard-line stance on -- immigration but not somebody who has used the same type of language not as regularly as steve king seems to. >> jeff, let me ask you, our viewers would be excused for not understanding with whom the solution to this impasse lies right now. because the president said i'm around to sign something that they give me, lindsey graham is saying, this lies with the president, the president -- the white house had a press briefing this morning in which mick mulvaney blamed democrats. with whom does a solution lie in the next nine hours? >> at the moment, it would appear the solution lies with the president. you make a good point. as the odds for the shutdown continue to grow, you see both sides trying to push on to the other the blame and interestingly, at this point, as casey makes clear. there is no deal. we appear to have a deal -- among both sides to continue talking. and what we heard this morning from mick mulvaney and

he is going over the top, or do you agree with steve king? >> mr. on the committee with me, and we share the same sentiments. david: wow. >> in some ways i think we are, use abraham lincoln's line, we're testing whether this nation or any notion so conceived can long endure, if we don't correct our wrongs if we the people don't have oversight and people don't have oversight with us as members of congress, that is a problem. keep plugging away. i think transparency, how will we ever develop trust if we can't be frank with the american people. so, i hope that is where we end up at the end of the day. but i want to do it right. i want to do it openly and honestly. david: if it is that important we need to see it as quickly as possible. congressman, thank you very much for coming in. have a good weekend. >> thank you. melissa: did nothing to make me less worried what is in there. david: a lot of congressman saying that. melissa: time is running out. republican efforts are down to the wire as lawmakers scramble to avoid a government shutdown, the latest w

. >> the difference between lindsey graham and steve king is that steve king can actually win an election. >> it mushroomed after the president's racially offensive language last week dashed hopes for a fix to the daca program. >> the president he asked congress to come up with a solution for the d.r.e.a.m.ers. congress members were in the room. it seemed to be a fairly productive meeting and the whole process got blown up. >> if i may -- it seems the whole process was blown up by the president's comments. >> when republicans tried to add a discussion about obamacare to the funding process in 2013, we were accused by nancy pelosi and chuck schumer of inserting nonfiscal issues into the spending process in order to shut the government down. there is no reason to have to deal with daca had week. the government shutdown would force more than a million members of the military without pay while hundreds of thousands of work will be if you are lowed. even at the centers for disease control while the administration is trying keep some national parks open. the president need only look back to his

steve king wasn't in the room, mark mad meadows wasn't in that room.'m sure everybody in the room is glad some of the hardliners weren't in there because it would have been ugly in the debate. but how do you get anything passed if their view isn't represented. >> i wouldn't expect them to accept the final package. last time, we didn't aet get all the republicans. >> okay. but is the president okay with that? >> i think so. i think he's going to have to be. anything that can get 60 votes in the senate will drop off a couple of republicans. i think that's the nature of legislating. >> mitch mcconnell reiterated that daca was not going to be part of the budget bill that he wants to deal with next week. >> right. >> is that firm? do you believe that's a firm plan there? or is he just speaking for republicans right now? >> well, i think that that's his preferred option. i would rather have it part of the spending deal. i know democrats would. so i think that remains to be seen, but that's certainly his preferred option. >> you have not been shy about your c

let's see how steve king and other far right immigration skeptics and critics react to that. that is the challenge for the president in this moment. how to corral and bring aboard or at least quiet down the criticism from skeptics here. that is going to be the challenge. we have seen so many presidents and houses and senates try and do this. the different equation here is trump himself. he is going to have to step up and tell people to quiet down. let's see if he does that. i'm skeptical if it's going to shut the government down, but we are not sure how the end is reached here. >> this is quick sand. every time they tried to touch the immigration issue in a big way, the george w. bush administration turned into quick sand. is this only nixon can go to china. can only donald trump build a wall on immigration. calm down and cut a deal? >> it's possible because the whole issue with the wall is that the wall can mean a lot of things. the wall can mean x number of dollars in physical improvements to current border barriers. the wall doesn't have to be the trump fan thick from cali

you know, he's become sort of the steve king of the senate. >> steve king, of course, is someone who tweets things like we can't restore our civilization with somebody else's babies. but despite that insult from a fellow republican, no less, cotton is still apparently in the mix, and with veto power, no less. mark meadows telling reporters trump committed to him he wouldn't back an immigration bill unless he and senator tom cotton backed it. if that's true, good luck on making any kind of deal at all. joining me now, jim manly, former chief spokesman for senate mujoerd leader harry rooet, and erica, daca recipient, leading to fight to get the d.r.e.a.m. act passed. jim, let me start with you. what do you make of cotton's role or the idea that cotton and meadows would have a veto on any of this? >> you know, it's just another symbol of the degradation of the political prosin this country. it's one thing for mark meadows to run around blowing things up in the house because, you know, that's the house. but for this kind of thought process to start moving over into the senate is very, ve

he was on the phone the other week with steve king, the congressman from iowa, who is very far to the right on immigration, and steve king told me that the president said there just isn't support in america to deport all of these kids. so i think he really does see that 8 in 10 figure that you cited, jeff. >> if that's true, where is he? i mean, you know, it's one thing to say that you want to protect the d.r.e.a.m.ers. he's the president. he could do something to protect the d.r.e.a.m.ers. he's the one, remember, who declared obama's law, executive order unconstitutional, even though it was still before the courts. the idea that this president is helping the d.r.e.a.m.ers is on the current evidence preposterous. >> that doesn't mean he won't, though. i think that's the important thing to remember. we have six weeks before we hit this deadline. >> six weeks is nothing. they have been at this for 15 years. i agree with everything both jeffs and rebecca said, but you have to call the president a winner because he wasn't pinned down to a position. either way, and he got order restored. >

. >> you need 60 votes in the senate, which means the steve king approach -- >> not 60. you need 80, if you're going to truly force the house to do what they need to do, you need 60 technically, but 80 politically. >> they had 68 last time, and 68 with donald trump pounded on house republicans might be enough. i'm not sure if it will be. >> what do you make of the amnesty issue? is the breitbart wing going to accept this if they somehow got an end to chain migration. >> if you is a wall, you have the reduction in chain migration, then i don't think you would get everybody on the republican side. you would get a lot of them. i think you would lose a lot of democrats. it's hard for me to see that deal. the other thing that somebody who is trying to figure out whether they want to go ahead with this deal has to figure out is, is the white house on the same page tomorrow? because this is today's white house. >> this is the first time in fairness, it actually, what donald trump said yesterday is now backed up by a conference call that we are well aware of here at nbc news tha

. >> and the difference between lindsey graham and steve king is that steve king can win a election in president. >> doing his best trump. that was trumpy in the response. and i saw mark meadows claim that if the freedom caucus that he has the president's word that -- that he will not agree to a daca deal that tom cotton doesn't vote for. how does a daca deal come. >> it couldn't under that circumstance. the president is surrounded by radical voices when it comes to daca. and but he is proven that he's often taking the advice of the person who is last in the office on this. >> white house republicans panicked when they found out it was a one-on-one with schumer and the president. >> because of that reason. and anything could happen under those circumstances. he knows very little about the policy on these things. he has very little investment in the policy. but he does react impulsively sometimes. as he did earlier in the week on the daca deal, the possible daca deal. he undermined his own people that were in the meetings for the -- the daca negotiations that sandbagged by the president

, here's what mark meadows had to say this morning. >> you don't see steve king, you don't see mark meadows, there is none of the hardcore, you know, voices in there. the kind of the sessions-type guys. only people that are looking to sort of compromise. >> bob, is that a bad thing? >> we're watching perhaps a change of the currents within the republican party. with that images from camp david with the congressional leadership standing behind president trump. at least politically at the moment, he's moving away from the bannon-style hard-charging style, the nationalism when it comes to issues like immigration. they are thinking more about political victories than political ideology. >> what does a compromise look like? in two hours from now, if this meeting wraps up, what are we going to be hearing from this thing? >> there are a lot of veteran politicians in this room. the question is, can they each walk out of the room and say to their respective base, we have a win. and that means republicans can walk away saying, we didn't get a wall but got something close to it. and the democr

steve king the ultimate immigration hard liner in the u.s. house, not exactly kind words there, but that's the opportunity for a deal here is one that gets led by the white house, not by the operators here on capitol hill. >> thanks to garrett and casey for that. chuck todd, we've seen this movie before. we've been through shutdown traumas for the nation. but we've never seen it with donald trump in the oval office. that's the big differentiator. also we've never seen it with a unified party controlling the house, senate and the white house. you don't usually have these kinds of disagreements. >> there's actually look, lindsey graham is right on this. not just that it needs presidential leadership, there's a real opportunity for this president. there's always been a chunk of supporters who voted for hip. they didn't like him personally, didn't like his -- but thought maybe his style will shake up this place. will sort of keep washington from being this constant and maybe having somebody who doesn't have any true ideology is the way to make th

he's become sort of the steve king of the senate.ike tom but on immigration, he's putting something on the table that there's just no market for in phase one. as soon as the white house understands there's a bandwidth here for phase one that will include border security and daca and a few other things, we'll get a deal into if that doesn't happen in the next 12 hours, is the government shutting down tonight in. >> i am not going to vote for 30 days of chaos without any concept of how to bring it to an end. the military is being killed. i'm not going to continue this game with daca recipients' lives. a lot of people on my side say what's the urgency. put yourself in their shoes. you're a teacher somewhere, you don't know if march the 5th you'll be kicked out of the country you call home. had idea we've got plenty of time i don't like that. if you're one these recipients you feel like we should have done this yesterday. 80% of the american people are actually with us. so i'm not going to vote for 30 days, four days is too short. i want

steve king has a view of information that is i think not -- best for the country but has had atton, he bill out there. he deserves to be heard and i appreciate the fact that he is involved in immigration issues. >> and speaker ryan the only health member you have spoken ryan thes speaker only house member you have spoken with? >> the reason i have not voted for the 30 day extension is it d the military. >> are you concerned that -- graham.r: senator midafternoon today as we come up on some :00 eastern on day number -- 7:00 eastern on day number two of the government shutdown. opening our funds. 48-8920.s call 202-7 as we have been doing, we're going to open up a phone line for federal employees. 202-748-8923. news about a possible shift in the schedule. movees say the sides will to a possible 10:00 p.m. eastern c.r.,nd end debate on the 3 week, to reopen government. let's get to your calls. let's hear from catherine on our democrats line. >> i am a member of the democratic committee here in my area. every time this comes to a shut down, it really goes to blame in both parties. at this

for everyone concerned what if we look at what the republicans are saying i will representative steve king wrote like he's read the memo it's worse than watergate florida representative matt gates says that if we get this memo into the public square heads are going to roll up the f.b.i. . pushing back just a little bit i mean there is interest for devon una's to undermine the f.b.i. in this case how serious could this be. well again the evidence we already have access to actually reveals what we already know it creates the the pretext for reasonable suspicion and frankly we already know and have proven that russia did not hack us vote tallies they did not intervene to at least to the extent that was previously thought in the us elections and the democrats have been engaging in neo mccarthyism it's kind of switched the roles here from fifty years ago they were they were taking the fifth because they were being called to the mat for collaborating themselves with the soviet union now they're actually turning the tables and saying that russia did it every turn it's become a little silly it's b

when i interviewed lindsey graham this morning, he said tom cotton was turning into the steve king member of the senate. he said his immigration views, cotton's immigration views were a nonstarter. and tom cotton does not talk to television cameras. today he sought out the cameras. back to the idea that cotton is more in line with what the president ran on, candidate trump's immigration policy and cotton intends to hold the president to these but if lindsey graham and tom cotton or talking about the contours of anything that has to do with immigration, again, something is in the works. >> i think that's officially a mosey over to the republican side of the u.s. senate. this moment cries out for a learned, smart man. luckily we have one standing by to talk to us, an author and presidential historian john meacham. if you were writing a book, oh i don't know, "profiles in courage" tonight would there be anything after the foreward? >> kennedy used to say there's a reason why it was one volume in terms of the prevalence of courage. it occurred to me this is what a government would look like w

joining me to discuss, adriana, steve king said it was a sickening reality set in when he read the memoad the additional congressman mark meadows said parts of him wishes he didn't right because of what he learned about his country. >> exactly. and other members of congress are saying this is like tactics used in the kgb. this is so shocking that the corruption at the highest level of our government and our spy agencies at the doj and fbi. the american people must demand the congress release these memos, declassify them and let the american people see what's going on. we know this fake, phoney dossier that was paid for by the hillary clinton campaign and dnc was used by the fbi to get five warrants. if hillary clinton were president and "breitbart" or steve bannon paid for fake tabloid information and the fbi used that to take down hillary clinton and negate an entire presidential election? you have got to be kidding me. liberal heads would explode. many believe this is what took place. what when high-ranging officials were interviewed. they were asked, did you use the dossier to obtain

republican from iowa, steve king says illegals have no right to be here and have all violated our laws. here those two sides, or defend the balance? where we leaving the septa folks to find a compromise. again, they're up against a deadline. to call it a wish list the white house has always been open about if they're going to deal with before their skin before issues, will and chain migration, chain migration and the border wall. has the most to lose? i think it's democrats. they're the ones who are up against a wall. you do have the republicans asking for a lot. it will be a quick issue to get through. >> at the president wants the senate to draft this legislation based on the framework and introduce it by february 5. in just a couple of days before the funding runs out. will they get much done? >> it didn't go well for the democrats for shutdown. based on daca. don't know if they want to run that again. the american people believe it's an important issue but not important enough to shut down the government. i doubt they want to run into that again. but maybe they feel like they have

i want to read you one that came this morning from congressman steve king, the republican of iowa. he's of course, an immigration and a hard liner, he was more receptive to the president's tweet. he says hang in there mr. president, if those countries are not what you described, democrats should be happy to deport criminal aliens back to them. and jeff flake of arizona, he indicated in part that his ancestors came from the countries not near as prosperous as where we live in today. >> mia love calling the president's comment "the president's comments are unkind, elitist, and fly in the face of our nation's values" and important to point out that members of congress were on in transit when the story broke. back to you poppy. >> joe johnson, thank you very much. >> before we bring in a panel, lets get new reporting from our jake tapper of what his sources are telling him is that the president did not explicitly use that language, blank hole when talking about haitians. he did say referring to the deal, the potential immigration deal, why did we need more haitians. take them out of th

charles: republican congressman steve king is not impressed with president trump's daca negotiations. fact he's livid. he joins us next. charles: some republicans upset with president trump's daca negotiations. congressman king joins me now in a fox business exclusive. president trump was lauded by a lot of folks, including never trumpers for reaching out and listening to new ideas and taking this a step closer to some sort of reform. but there are a lot of people who have been in president trump's corner like ann coulter lived and upset that daca is being considered this way. >> i'm in the same vein as ann coulter but not as articulate. he got a wave of support because of his immigration policy. he started this in iowa. i market tested his immigration policy for 14 years in that state. from the first day he started his campaign he said he would end the executive amnesty started by barack obama. i authored a bill to end the daca policy. september 5, we got an announcement that daca was going to be canceled. it came out of the doj with the approval or recommendation of the president, t

. >> which is counter what steve king is saying, that we will save money by deporting the d.r.e.a.m.ers building a border wall. >> he takes a very, very hardline. >>> immigration enforcement officers conducting raids on 98 7-11 stores. 21 people arrested for allegedly being in the u.s. illegally. i.c.e. called it the largest enforcement under president trump. 7-11 seeking to distance itself from the hiring practices of store owners. they're independent and solely responsible for verifying the legality of their employees. >>> president trump striking a welcoming tone wednesday, at first as he praised his own televised 55-minute meeting from the day before. >> welcome back to the studio. nice to have you. >> that was the president at his cabinet meeting. it was open to the press, the very early moments there. he gave a statement, commanded the room. called the cabinet room his studio. he called tuesday's meeting a performance. this muft be season two of the donald trump presidency we're watching unfold on television. >> indeed. the president claims the media covered the meeting favorably

congressman steve king, no surprise that he is anti-illegal immigration, he doesn't like the idea of amnesty. >> i'll submit this. daca amnesty will cost american taxpayers and the economy far more than it will cost to build a wall. i hope that's in the record and stays in the record. i won't have to wait very long to defend that statement and a lot of people in the country are going to have to admit i'm righ right. >> shannon: as he considers the utility of walls and promises, -- >> the problem ultimately for these folks donald trump it splits the party. he took a minority standing within the g.o.p. into a full win because it was a divided field for 2016 the plurality of the republican party as well as the overwhelming majority of the country in its entirety supports things like amnesty for these daca people. >> shannon: we don't want to call it that. were not talking about full path to citizenship. >> it's sort of like with these l salvadorans were here since 2001. there's not a lot of appetite in america amnesty or not amnesty allowed me to stay within the united states. it will b

. >> so, there's steve king obviously congressman -- no, congressman western iowa, which is obviouslye northwest florida where i'm from. that's sort of the epicenter in iowa at least of trump's space. >> right. >> i'm just curious, mika, we have been talking about this for about 30 minutes or so so, what, though, what is your take on the meeting and what would your take be if a comprehensive immigration bill came you out of these discussion, that included, yes, included the wall, included tougher border enforcement but at the same time included a fix on daca and also included comprehensive immigration reform that would lead to legalized status for a lot of these immigrants that wouldn't be living in the shadows anymore? >> well, i just don't think that's going to happen. i don't think -- >> i know, but i'm asking what if it did happen? what would be your thing? >> it would be fascinating. this is a fascinating discussion. it's a real discussion. it could be had but i don't think that was the intention of yesterday's meeting. there is absolutely nothing this president has done to prove

steve king was on my show on friday, he said this. >> the numbers are just stunning.t to see that president trump has proposed 1.8 million amnesty for illegals. i think this will demoralize so very many of his supporters and how do we get back now to a place where we need to be with this? >> the answer is very simple. keep our eyes focused on the prize. the prize is the problems that got us focused here in the first place. chain migration on the lottery. >> laura: no more amnesty after this? this will be the last? >> this is the idea, to end the problem in the first place. >> laura: will they make you go up to 3 million, 4 million, i will say 5 million? >> if we do nothing it will be 7 million or more. this is an opportunity to stop this once and for all. >> laura: you think you will get enough democrats to support this? >> we will find out if they are really serious about solving the daca problem. >> laura: they don't want to give you a win on daca. they don't. >> we will find out. >> laura: a stunning new example and the contrast of the media's treatment of melania

reminding him of what he campaigned on which is you talk to conservative members of congress like steve king and they say daca is amnesty and the president did not campaign on letting illegal immigrants stay in this country. that is the language i hear from the president in that tweet. day by day tough as you said to pin down what the white house feels about any of this. i see them going more towards the right as this war of words escalates between democrats and republicans. >> you heard sarah huckabee sanders just say that the democrats are and i'm paraphrasing, throwing away progress and negotiations. this is the president who said i will sign whatever they bring me even if i don't like it. they who brought it to him were not just democrats. it was democrats and republicans who reached an agreement. he didn't agree to it like he said he would. >> it shouldn't be surprising that the president would have such rapid reversal in terms of policy and promise. the president and the white house have been saying that this is the democrats throwing away a potential deal. this isn't happening because

. >> or steve king who is in northwest iowa. >> king is the worst. the worst.ut you represent a very het w hetergeneous district. coming up, hour number 20 on the government shutdown. when we come back, we'll have a little gab fest here. i'm sure we'll have all kinds of opinion. you're watching "hardball." mine's way better. this one's below market price and has bluetooth. same here, but this one has leather seats! use the cars.com app to compare price, features and value. replace the full value of your totaled new car. the guy says, "you picked the wrong insurance plan." no, i picked the wrong insurance company. with new car replacement™, we'll replace the full value of your car plus depreciation. liberty mutual insurance. >>> amid this government shutdown and the first anniversary of president trump's national guainauguration inauguration, january 20th, let's bring in a panel. a political reporter for "the washington post," eugene scott is here and white house correspondent yamiche, she has new jobs all the time and author and commentator charlie sykes. i'm g

we do seem to be getting some support from the president, especially from congressman steve king, who tweeted this morning at the president saying, hang in there, mr. president. if those countries aren't as you described, democrats should be happy to deport criminal aliens back to them end #anchorbabies too. the term there at the end. poppy, circling back to the tweet you read from the president's nondenial denial that he referred to haiti as a, quote, s-hole, what he does not deny there is referring to other african countries as s-holes or saying that united states should take more people from countries like norway. so it's important to keep those two things in mind as you read the president's tweet. but yes, there is a chance we can hear from the president on this himself in person here in the next hour at the white house as he signs that mlk proclamation and another thing to note that as the story broke yesterday, the president was actually recording a video for the upcoming mlk weekend. but poppy, we'll be waiting to see what the president has to say about his comments here at the

steve king. thank you for joining us. the president will be using this uninterrupted hour to talk about the growing economy, the decline in unemployment, and the booming stock market. the war on terror front victory against isis. what else will the president point out that will help perhaps shape bipartisanship legislation moving forward? >> you've listed a couple really good things i'm interested in hearing from the president on. there were significant dialogue. how you go broader with the bipartisanship. i think he will reach into the immigration issue and try to pitch that as a bipartisan issue. i think he will say some things designed to avoid another effort by the democrats to take our cr hostage on the 8th of february and bring about another shutdown. he'll be talking about the need to secure the border and enforce the rule of law. more enforcement to build a wall and offered up 1.8 million amnesty as a price he seems to pay to get some of the enforcement that were part of his campaign promises. >> julie: i want to

somewhere steve king where ever he is. jim jordan and the right of the gop are screaming about this. let's get going. cnn political ana navarro and mat schlapp. path to citizen ship. how will that play? >> this is all very dicey. as we know we have been trying to get an immigration bill or a lot of people have been trying to get a reform bill through congress for decades. the fact president trump who ran aggressively against illegal immigration and illegal immigrants being in the country for him to bring up daca and for him to be talking to democrats and republicans about this, you ought to give him credit. it takes a certain amount of political courage for republicans to talk about this. because you're right, any kind of amnesty to anyone is controversial. with a lot of republicans and with >> amnesty is a dirty word for them, ana, even though i don't know why it applies to kids. amnesty goes to someone's commission of a crime, kids can't commit crimes -- >> most of this population, there aren't kids, though, there are lo

he hears people like steve king who's the most antiimmigrant republican congressman in the house of representatives. he knows that he will be in trouble with his base if he actually accepts this deal, so he goes back on his word. shocker, right? so again, this is up to now the president of the united states, scott, and republicans who will hopefully push him to keep his word and to accept a bipartisan deal that has protections for the d.r.e.a.m.ers, that has increased border security in it and that has all of the things he talked about that he would accept. we are at the verge and at that door. it's up to the president of the united states not to slam that door in the face of this country, in the face of americans and the face of 800,000 d.r.e.a.m.ers who are looking for solutions. >> scott, today the president is tweeted that democrats don't want daca and it's their fault if there's not a deal. let's remember the president himself sort of created this daca crisis. he rescinded the program. he repealed daca that was in place and then of course there was bipartisan deal that was brought to him on th

we know folks like steve king, et cetera, just do not like this idea. >> there's obviously a debate in the republican caucus on this. i favor addressing the d.r.e.a.m.ers and also addressing border security. and i think that that can occur at the same time. and there will obviously be a compromise because for legislation to reach the president's desk, alisyn, has to pass the house and the senate. and this will be a matter of discussion. but the president has put forth a proposal yesterday at his press conference and i'm willing to examine it. >> is that condition $25 billion? does the pathway for citizenship for d.r.e.a.m.ers come with a price tag of $25 billion for the border wall some. >> i think that's a high figure. that is a negotiating strategy. that will be part of the negotiations. i do favor greater border security. >> including the wall? >> including drones is and perhaps more agents. >> what about a wall? >> i don't think there has to be a wall in all places. perhaps in some places. i have been at the southern border. there is no need for a wall in southern arizona because t
