" es lo mÁs vergonzoso, ignorante e insultante que ha dicho nunca," afirmÓ steven millerner duda a estados unidos. miller es precisamente dorado e incluso entre sectores republicanos mÁs tradicionales. algunos como el senador republicano lo ha llamado demagogo. donald trump tambiÉn quiere reducir la migraciÓn legal en temas como las visas profesionales, peticiones de asilo y refugiados. pero es mÁs aceptados son los que quemen traer a sus familias. >> entre cambios que querÍan pasar, solamente quedarÍan peticiones para esposos o menores de edad. >> es totalmente racista. limita la migraciÓn, porque creen que son inferiores. reportero: la casa blanca lo niega.

it's pushed by steven miller and steve bannon who described legal immigration as the beating heart of america's problems. and representative steve king who describes demographic as cultural suicide championed by a president who says he wants fewer immigrants from african nations he calls s holes and more immigrants from norway. >> if we don't straighten out our border, we don't have a country. without borders we don't have a country. so what i shut it down over this issue, yes. >> his comments come one week after he called for democrats and republicans to find common ground at the state of the union, one day after he described dras reaction to portions of his speech as treasonous. it comes on the same day john kelly claimed that "the champion of all people who are daca is donald trump." donald trump of course, ended by himself the daca program. he threw the lives of hundreds of thousands of people into chaos, made it so they didn't november or don't know yet if they could take that new job or start their family because they might be deported from the country that they call home, the c

. >> he worked closely with the president and john kelly and steven miller. there are reports he had been dating a woman, hope hicks, one of the president's closest behind-the-scenes allies and assistants. he was entrenched in that inner circle at the white house. >> not to mention the statements yesterday from john kelly holding up rob porter as a man with great integrity. we're going to dive into these and find out where things changed. peter alexander, good to see you. >>> we're going to continue the conversation about that departure at the white house. staff secretary rob porter leaving after accusations about his past. >>> also ahead, congress may have found its unicorn. our kasie hunt reports democrats and republicans reached a deal to fund the government for a full two years. you heard me right. two years before anyone has to put up with painful cliches like shutdown show down. a deal that will make both sides happy. >>> >> pleased to announce our bipartisan negotiations on defense spending and other priorities have yielded a significant agreement. >>

just to give some background to him, it's not like he works with steven miller, but miller is a moreknown figure. we don't know yet who will replace rob porter. we do know he worked for senator hatch. there's a statement from senator orrin hatch. all of this is coming 15 hours after we first got the statements of support for rob porter from people including chief of staff john kelly. you heard you see ask sarah sanders what has changed since then, why did he accept the resignation if he believes he did nothing wrong. >> as important as this conversation is about his departure is, the conversation needs to be had about the vetting. we have seen at least as published by daily mail.com suggesting that was restraining order by one of these ex-wives. there are questions about his security clearance. how did they not know about this before he joined the team? >> number one, the white house won't talk about security clearances. sarah sanders repeatedly refused to answer that question. remember at the beginning of the administration last year when you and i were covering this and there were

. >> and steven miller. >> fair enough. you make of that and are you wondering what i'm wobd e -- wondering which is donald trump feeling isolated. >> i imagine he is. i talked to somebody before i came on the air who was a former trump white house person and they feel like donald trump -- those that are little to donald trump are being pushed out because -- they can't figure out why. they can't figure out why donald trump is allowing john kelly to push out all of those closest to him. not to mention steven miller and there is also kellyanne conway who is still there. and there is a concern about -- with a source that kellyanne conway could be the next to go. but you're right. hope hicks was big for donald trump. is big for donald trump. she was with him from the very beginning. she survived scandal after scandal a -- and cory lewandowski and he left and she stayed. >> roger stone, and everybody. i'm failing to think of all of the names now. >> keith schiller, hope hicks, david bossie. the list is getting long. >> it is --

funding some of the border wall came back to him and obviously he talked to other advisers like steven miller and he just turned it down so it's not clear how you get a permanent deal and larry this is going to get more more critical because we're going to bump up against the debt limit in february and if we ever breach the debt limit the economic consequences across the world would be extraordinary because of be the first time in history that the u.s. had in a serious way damaged its full faith and credit so that the u.s. bonds and investments in the u.s. underlie the world economy and if we ever violate the debt limit we're in serious trouble then the democrats make any mistakes. i think think i think that if they you want to say they made a mistake is they took the president at his word but they had to try when he said i'm willing to make a compromise they had to go ahead and try and make that compromise so they had no other choice i don't think they had any other choice what do you think will happen between now and february eighth when the funding runs out i think republicans are very wor

stepped down amid allegations of abuse a speechwriter for the controversial senior policy adviser steven miller his name is david sorenson he stepped down when he got wind that the washington post was talking to his ex-wife who claims that she was abused by him these are allegations that the man categorically denies but he said he didn't want to bring more negative attention to the white house so he stepped away from his post and is planning to try to fight the charges against him in the in some way he claims it was actually his wife who is abusive to him he was also in the process of getting a security clearance and the reason his wife came forward and was talking to the washington post is she had given similar information to f.b.i. officials during his background check just like porter information the f.b.i. had gathered about him about his abuse. isn't didn't stop him from getting his security clearance this gentleman did not require the top secret security clearance that porter did but nevertheless was in the process of getting a background check and had received it yet again deciding to st

he could start by recalling who is president and stop giving advice to steven miller a policy veto. referring there to top white house aide and immigration hard-liner steven miller, james, tell us about this. >> this is hard to figure because you look at the deal that was on the table and the president got a lot of money for the wall that he wants, he got priority on enforcement against criminals who were illegal aliens and he also could have gotten no more immigrants bringing their participants in which, i like immigration but that's a tough one to defend because you don't have the same economic arguments you had with young hungry people coming to help the economy. so it is kind of a mystery here and a little disturbing to suggest that the game really is to just reduce immigration and that's a big mistake. our population is barely growing, less than 1% a year since 2010. our working-age population just had a historic decline, so there is not a flood of people coming in. we actually need more of them but it's puzzling. i feel like the deal is there and he didn't take it. lee: a deal

steven miller. i want to have your children deported. he said it, guys. he's the one.hite house website. all right. donald trump jr. i'll be thinking of you in prison. his brother. i love you like daddy loves jared. jared has a card that says you make my cold dead stare come alive. melania has a good card, whatever michelle obama said last valentine's day.

he could start by recalling who's president and stop giving adviser steven miller a policy veto.hatever happened to the art of the deal. if there trump isn't happy with everything in the collins brown bill, why not engage and negotiate? let's not talk about the policy implication. i'm curious about the politics. you had yesterday senator cruz trying to get to the right of president trump on immigration. you had bernie sanders willing to come and vote for funding for a wall if you could get to the dreamers. basically it looks like it's not going to go anywhere. >> with all deference to the wall street journal page, i cannot imagine a more destructive thing that donald trump could do is land in the middle of these negotiations. you are watching these negotiation take place. ''s bill failed. compromised bill in the senate failed. it is up to the lower house, which didn't want to go first. welsh house republicans, it's up to you. the problem that the goodlap bill has is that it's not that it doesn't have a path way to citizenship. it's only a three year extension. it had lots of curv

it seems like maybe steven miller was standing outside the room and reminded him he needed to retract himself. >> i've been wanting to ask you about this. the conflation between these two things. it seems every time the president talk about immigration he brings up ms-13. why does he tie dreamers and immigration reform to a violent gang no one disagrees should be stopped? >> well because probably these that's the only way he can convince people it's needed. because i don't believe too many people believe it's needed. a wall that's a waste of time and money. anyone who wants to cross the border will cross here in the sections and mountains where they won't have a wall or swim where there won't be a wall. they will come by boat, by plane and overstay the visa. it's not going to do any good or help. and really, it's a misrepresentation of the truth, as you say. there is nothing wrong with cracking down on ms-13. and they should crack down on them. when you talk about crime in the u.s., immigrants really have a minor role in crime, only a very small fraction of immigrants commit crimes. r

what donald trump is doing, what steven miller is doing is pushing those particular buttons. that is, they are afraid of the browning of america. that's why you see this attack on immigrants right now. we must cl it for what it is an stop dancing around it until they must be challenged on it. but what i need white folks in america to understand, you haven't been losing your jobs because of illegal immigrants. it's largely because of automation. that's where these small towns have lost manufacturing jobs, automation. carrier jobs, gone. harley davidson jobs, they're closing it down because of the tpp and trump pulling out of that. >> this is something the president often talks about in an economic context when he's talking about issues of race and immigration. let me play a little bit from his state of the union address from a few days ago. >> after years of wage stagnation, we are finally seeing rising wages. african-american and hispanic unemployment have both reached the lowest levels ever recorded. >> howe i'll correct myself there. speaking at the retreat in west virginia

. >>> new details tonight about the sudden resignation of a speech writer that worked under steven miller just resigned from the whitetous tonight under circumstances that are remarkably similar to rob porter that left amid abuse allegations from both ex wives. he stepped down after inquiries of abuse allegations. allegations that she reportedly told the fbi about last year according to the post. david sorenson's ex-wife said she described his behavior last fall as the burro was conducting a background check. white house officials learned of the accusations by sorenson's wife thursday night. i'm joined by linda chavez, a columnist that worked in the regan administration and kathryn columnist at the washington post. you can check out "the washington post" article. we can tweet that out there are different circumstances here. i believe he has two ex wives, one vouches for him and says she didn't experience anything like abuse. something if you've been in domestic violence circles you've heard before. there are also documentation from this woman, she showed a picture of a cigarette burn she

he suggested that it was not trump but others in the white house, namely steven miller with extreme views on immigration who were to blame to fail to reach a immigration deal. >> so there's potential -- a potential major development in the legal case of an indicted former aide to president trump's campaign in transition. cnn reports that gates is finalizing a plea deal with special counsel robert mueller's office. according to the report not confirmed by nbc news, gates is poised to cooperate in the investigation. sources tell cnn that gates has been in plea negotiations for about a month now. nbc news reported last week that gates lawyers requested to withdraw from the case over irreconcilable differences with the former deputy paul manafort. if the report is accurate gates would join two other trump advisors who are cooperating with the mueller investigation and putting pressure on manafort who pleaded not guilty alongside gates back in october. gates continued to serve the trump campaign after manafort's ouster and he was reportedly a frequent visitor in the first month of the trump's

something much more punitive, something like the goodlatte bill, which looks like it was written by steven miller. that's what we're likely to see. that's one of the reasons why so many democrats voted no on the funding bill last week, because we thought it was the only leverage we had to get a good immigration bill in the house. >> but what could you -- could you accept some funding for the wall? >> yes, i think so. i don't think -- >> $20 billion? >> i don't know what the number is, but i think democrats are willing to compromise. they just don't want to see something that is so whole heartedly punitive on the immigration policy we had the last 50 years. >> diversity lottery, could you accept changes to that? >> changes, yes. elimination, no. if you totally eliminate the diversity lottery, then people from the less affluent countries, especially i think s sub-saharan africa, will never have a chance to come to the united states. >> do you trust chuck schumer to negotiate a good deal on behalf of democrats. this has been an issue for house democrats who have not liked the deals cut by schumer on

there's a compromise there to have, if you cut-out the steven miller's of the world and others, but congressionalpublicans have decided to outsource that to the white house. >> where does that come from? if he's not going to say in advance he'll sign something that you're not going to send to it him if you think that it's a reasonable deal and the best deal you can get? >> it's sort of opposite of leadership. you're looking to the president to be the broker, the deal maker, and -- >> a guy who many of them when sitting at a table with him recognize that he didn't know what many of the specifics were, even in generalities. >> yes. he blew up the negotiation. it looked like it was making progress with that famous ass hole comment. since then there's been almost no constructive progress on an issue that just a few weeks ago it looked like there was, at least a crack in the door to be able to come up with a compromise and frankly you have to put that, you know, at the door step of the white house and the failure of congressional republicans to push back and say, okay, if you're not going to lead, we'

if steven miller did -- if melania trump did all of this horrible stuff. if donald trump jr.arron trump did all of this horrible stuff, why in the world is the fbi so afraid of finding out how they done it? why is the fbi, why the drive byes, why is the democratic party so worried so, concerned about how they got there? i have gone through as much as of this as i can absorb before it all starts to turn into a blue purple murky haze. and i can't find any good reasons to not disclose this memo. >> sean: when i do radio, microphone is here. how does he do it from so far away. maybe that's why he is so number one. i don't know. jason chaffetz and tom fitton. okay, i think this is what we are going to get tomorrow. this is why they don't want it, the phony clinton bought and paid for dossier was used in part to get a fisa warrant it's russian propaganda, congressman. >> yeah, i think we are also going to start to seat financial trail who was paying for it how it was financed. who was moving it along. i'm worried that it's actually broader than just the fbi. remember this peter str

he can also get into a room with people who may convince him, let's make a grand bargain and if steven millerft out of room, he might be willing to make a grand bargain with democrats and republican leaders who have shown that they have been willing to come together, at least in congress, in terms after bipartisan deal on immigration. the president is the one who wasn't on board with that. so there does seem to be some room to work. but i think if he is hard an fast on the wall, on getting rid of the lottery system for immigration, on getting rid of the long standing policy that allows immigrants to bring relatives over here, i think democrats are not going to be able to sign on to that. >> go ahead. >> the president has moved on. the president's announcement he supporting a path to citizenship for $1.8 million approximately unauthorized immigrants -- >> which the far right was hangry. >> right. that's about three times as many people that participate in daca. it is not enough of a move to get democrats on board and say this is a deal. but the president has moved somewhat. he said in an inter

it seems to change when steven miller and john kelly get involv involved. >> reporter: i think he wants commitment to deal with and vote on the issue of immigration. the fact that you do have those negotiations, which the white house has said, mark short has been clear about, they think those negotiations are moving forward. of course, what the president wants to sigh ee is more fundinr his border wall and border security. then he wants to limit things like chain migration and end the visa lottery program. that's where those issues become very thorny and very difficult. democrats are saying those tactics are too hard nosed. of course, the president's own chief of staff complicating, potentially, the negotiations yesterday, by saying that some dreamers were too lazy to get off of their -- as you read, the expletive -- and sign up for daca status. that rhetoric, some perceived, has only made the negotiations worse. he wants to see an answer by the deadline. john kelly saying shay don inin have an appetite to extend the deadline. >>> secretary of state rex tillerson says we know russia is

steven miller is obsessed by this thing. donald trump is obsessed by this. democrats don't want to give on that even on one inch. it's silly to in the name of reunifying families to block families from being reunified. i think that's actually got to be a wall more than family migration. maybe the way it will have any sense of play is that ultimately, because there's so many incompatible views on these sides, they're going to have to scale down asks. it's going to be dreamers and then we'll put off a grand kind of immigration reform because really it's going to be hard -- >> i think, i mean, along with christine and others, i think the border wall is a ridiculous boondogg boondoggle. it's a waste of money. all that said, i think democrats probably need to call trump's bluff and offer to provide, you know, throw this money down the rat hole for the border wall and see if he will actually agree to a deal that will legalize these dreamers who are going to be in serious danger of deportation within a month. that's a huge tragedy we need to try to avert. i think i

president's two senior most advisers are hope hicks, 28 or 29, a former junior fashion pr person, and steven miller who everybody saw his head explode -- [laughter] on national television. i mean, and these, i mean, whether you agree with them, their politics or not, these are just two people who bring nothing to this -- [laughter] to table. they just have no experience -- [applause] no maturity, and, you know, no reason, no reason under the sun to be doing the jobs that we're paying them to do. >> now, a central focus of the book is, i mean, steve bannon is throughout this book. steve bannon is the smart person in the west wing. steve bannon is the one who's the true believer, who has an agenda, who wants to push the president to do what he thinks he should do. steve bannon is smarter than jarvanka, smarter than priebus, smarter than everybody. bannon's gone. are you surprised given the way he comes off here? i mean, he comes off as someone who really thinks he's smarter than he really is. are you surprised that he is no longer there? and not just no longer there, like, excommunicated. the mercers

were around him at the start of the campaign it's really only hope picks and kellyanne conway and steven miller who are still there and no hope hicks is gone as well so that leaves donald trump probably slightly isolated away from the people that were closest to him through what was a barnstorming campaign in twenty sixteen those that helped deliver the white house for donald trump but he says he's very pleased for her but will be interesting to see how this plays out over the next few weeks and importantly who takes over the two poorest of communications director which is a key position in any white house thanks allen the u.s. president's former campaign chairman has pleaded not guilty to charges related to the investigation into alleged russian meddling in the twenty sixteen election campaign the charges against coleman afford include allegations of money laundering conspiracy and making false statements about lobbying work he did on behalf of a pro russian party in ukraine his trial is set to begin in september. plenty more ahead on the news hour including. u.k. prime minister could ever agr

david sorensen, a speech writer working for steven miller, is accused by his ex-wife of physical abuse that includes running a car over her foot. sorensen denies the allegations but resigned nonetheless. how is it an administration could retain so many people accused of violence against women? look no further than the reaction of the man at the top, who, when given the opportunity to condemn domestic violence, instead says this about rob porter. >> he did a very good job when he was in the white house. we lohope he has a wonderful career. hopefully he will have a great career ahead of him. but it was very sad when we heard about it. certainly he's also very sad. now, he also, as you probably know, he says he's innocent. i think you have to remember that. he said strongly yesterday that he's innocent. >> joining me now, maria hinojo hinojosa, noelle nikpour, karine jean-pierre, and charles pierce. noelle, i will give you all the snaps you have given me your entire life with that black pan th ther outfit. how did you react to this week's events? first you have rob porter accused by two f

democrats and going along with some of their softer immigration proposals and then guess what, steven millerer aides in the white house yanked him right back in. i just don't see trump compromising or softening niz view his views on this. >> what do you think, tim? it seems it makes sense. background checks. donald trump is talking about that. banning bump stocks. these are things the nra has said in the past. for instance, cornyn's plan along with murphy on making background checks better. yet, no movement on it. >> well, first of all, when donald trump says he's considering something, he says he's considering everything. there's no core. we can't treat him like a regular president laying out policy proposals. the way to get some compromise on this is to say we're going to craft a proposal that doesn't significantly constrain the second amendment rights of law-abiding people. the problem is there's not a lot of stuff that can really limit the ability of criminals to get guns that also doesn't constrain that. so there are going to be narrow pathways they can go down. this debate has a proble

steven calk for comment. neither gave us one. a spokesperson for manafort told us his client did nothing wrong. with us is former justice department spokesman, now a security analyst, matt milleralex and jill are also with us here. matt, let's be clear here, steven calk, the banker, not given a job in the white house. he's not in the administration. how serious is this investigation? >> it depends what they turn up, obviously. we know that the department has signalled they are interested -- they may to fpotentially file n charges against manafort. that was in a plea relating to whether manafort can get bail or not last week. so they obviously are looking at this case very seriously. they could bring charges against manafort based on misrepresenting his actually financial situation in applying for the loans. it'd be different all together if they were to bring charges against the president of the bank for granting these loans for false purposes, essentially. >> how does manafort get out of this? does he? >> talks. he pleads. eventually, at the end of the day, he's already facing ten years in jail if convicted on the charges he's already been indicted. >> right. >> the departmen
