steven miller over the weekend trying to clarify what the president said. the president frid aay and miller's explanation. >> i could do the wall over a longer period of time. i didn't need to do this but i would rather do it much faster. >> i didn't need to do this, how does that justify a national emergency? >> what the president is saying is that like past presidents, he could choose to ignore this crisis, choose to ignore this emergency as others have but that's not what he's going to do. >> so what's your response to steven miller there, and the whole i didn't need to do this? why might that be troublesome. >> his lawyers all just did a move. if i'm writing the brief for the plaintiff, that is the first sentence, quote, i didn't need to do this. forget about the introductory table of contents, i'm doing that right away, and making the argument, this is a pretext, this is a sham. the data is not there. i'll tell you what the other side is going to say, the people who are defending this are going to say, this is a political question. that's a phrase the

you have steven miller in the white house pushing for a hard line here. does the president have a different outlook on this than senator republicans? >> i think he has some appetite for it, jim. he's in full campaign mode. he's tweeting about elizabeth warren and amy klobuchar. the campaign 2020 twitter account is very active right now. and he's looking for a political issue. and it's certainly the wall for him. his base got very much behind him in 2016 with all of those chants. build a wall. build a wall. going down to el paso for -- this is a campaign event. this is not business of state. this is a campaign event. for him, the wall is very much a political and campaign issue. and then the shutdown, i think in his way, he still believes that his base is the most critical and that he needs to deliver on some kind of a wall or wall-like barrier. and if he needs to shut down the government again, he could see that as in his political interest. now senate republicans feel very different. mitch mcconnell does not want to shut down the government again. they h

so top trump advisor steven miller saying today, hinting tat the president might be willing to use his veto power to try to stop that resolution from moving forward. take a listen. >> will the president veto that, which would be the first veto of his presidency? >> well, obviously the president is going to protect his national emergency derk lrclaration, chr. he's going to protect his national emergency declaration guaranteed. this is statutory issue and statutory delegation that congress made. but again i want to make this point. this is a deep intellectual problem that is plaguing this city, can is we've had thousands of americans die year after year after year because of threats crossing our southern border. we have families and communities left unprotected and undefended. this is threat in our country. not overseas, not in afghanistan or syria or iraq, but right here. and if the president can't defend this country, hen he cannot fulfill his constitutional oath of office. >> now, steven miller in that same fox news interview saying that the president while he made the remarks that h

by the way, fred, what steven miller said this morning. if the president's going to declare an emergency, well then the remedy, in this case, a wall must address the underlying emergency. and i can make a very strong case that it will take too long to build a wall and by the way building a wall probably won't address the issue of poor migrants coming to legal ports of entry. of course we need more personnel and protection on the border, but this is the wrong way to go about it, and we're going to be hearing this ad nauseam. >>> so the border wall likely be a big topic of discussion when senator amy klobuchar holds a town hall event in new hampshire. that's tomorrow airing at 10:00 eastern time monday only on cnn. >>> up next, president trump's pick for a u.n. ambassador bows out of the running. why heather nauert is stepping down, and what the president is saying about that. >>> plus venezuela is gripped in what senator marco rubio called a man made crisis of epic proportions. what else he's saying about that and the latest efforts to deli

just to get through tonight without getting booted well the steven miller part of the administration's over that was the first two years we had control of the house the senate the majority on the supreme court and every other part of government mechanisms working for republicans you cannot compromise with the steven miller view of immigration the now want to crack down on illegal immigration but legal immigration also what the president has to do is put out an olive branch to democrats they're only about three billion dollars apart on funding the the bill that would be that was just a previously was about one point six billion dollars and border security funding he wants five point seven billion let's meet in the middle i'm fond of compromise so he puts that out as opposed to this and i think that can go a long way toward preventing a second government shutdown actually getting something done on border security which is a crucial issue but to steve's point when you have democrats already starting out and not showing up tonight and we know how this president to react does that really sh

difficult time actually coming up with an alternative set of facts that weren't laughable on its face, steven millerthe questions. >> but kudos to chris wallace for that persistent pursuit in challenging stephen miller with the facts about the particularly the history of use of these declarations of national emergency. you know, this is going to be one more task i think for republicans on the hill. we expect to see a congressional approval. you need a couple republicans in the senate to cross over if that's going to pass. we've had a half dozen republican senators express concern about this on constitutional grounds and other grounds, will they stands up when it comes to a vote? because the history of the past two years is they have been reluctant, sometimes have been willing too challenge the president ret torically. not when it comes up to a vote. i think this will be one more rest of where we stand, where the president stands with officials from his own party. >> well, joe, one member of the senate who will definitely not be standing up to the president is lindsey graham. take a look. >> it's abo

and steven miller might have you know wrote some of those words but there are ways skepticism by this administration of working with the democrats even if the president might say a few words in its favor so the state of the union might be sort of ok but the state of government is not that good well one of the guests earlier on al jazeera was saying to me it's pretty difficult for donald trump and the republicans to do business and to be united with the democrats when you could argue that the democrats want him gone that they are is a wing of the democrat party that wants them impeached. absolutely and and there are serious it illogical differences i mean with the exception of couple of see in a place is when you sense that there is this american nationalism when you invoke questions like regime change in venezuela or israel and its capital letters home and so forth generally speaking when it comes to domestic affairs there is an increasing division within the country and they're republicans are moving towards the right then the democrats are moving towards the left and the mon

t let's play a little bit more of steven miller.eeded to add there was show me a picture of it. there is no t a wat a wall. it does not exist. why are they saying there is a wall? >> because that's what they told their base. so it does not matter what the real world says, it is sean hannity saying it, it is true. >> the other thing they have a challenge is the use of the emergency. steven miller who seems to be running point on this operation did not prep himself with the president declaring this national emergency because he could not name one. >> can you name one case where a president asked for congress money and refused and the president invoke national powers to get the muni way? >> the current situation pertains specifically to the military construction. >> congress said no -- >> the meaning of the statue is clear on its own terms. if you don't like the statu statue -- you should have changed it a long time ago. >> he could not name one. should he prep himself with at least one sample. >> that's the thing, omnivore, the teache

i understand steven miller's attempt to explain the president's words and we've all spent time tryinghe president's words on any number of topics. what's interesting beyond the political ramifications is you remember the travel ban initially. one of the things that got the trump administration in court were comments from rudy giuliani and tweets from the president himself saying muslim ban. ban the muslims. muslim ban and then they had to make a legal argument that this isn't a muslim ban. if this goes to court which it likely will and perhaps in very different venues. states suing over it. house and senate democrats suing over it. interest groups like the aclu suing over it. the trump administration will have to argue this is a legitimate national emergency and here the president of the united states is saying, i didn't have to do it, but i am. that could be legally difficult. >> yes, the president's comments came back to haunt the administration in the first go around but ultimately in the third iteration is passed muster. chairman rogers othe political side before we go, looking at

lowest ebb, the president's power or authority may prevail in this third weakest category, and steven milleright have answered to the question, that the authorization of congress isn't so much in what the senators may be saying today. it's in the fact that congress has enacted statutes that arguably expressly give the president power. for example, in the case of military construction projects. it doesn't matter so much the president may argue what individual senators say today. it's what the authority is contained in the statute. >> kelsey, one thing you're heard a lot about on the hill. this is something we've talked about at nbc, the idea of what this means not in this particular sort of micro-instance, but macro, for the executive branch and legislative branch. >> one concern is they have what they refer to as article one powers. it's their constitutional duty to be the ones who decide how money is spent. it seems like -- that's washington speak for congress is in charge of the purse. they don't want to give that up. they're worried that the president is getting in their way. the other th

underway, at least 5 states starting with california plans to sue the white house senior adviser steven millers the president is fully prepared to defend declaration. >> he's going protect the national emergency declaration guarantied, this is a threat in our country not in zimbabwe and if the president can't defend this country he cannot fulfill constitutional oath of office. >> miller said that this congress rob: of course, we will have that, griff, thank you so much. former fbi director andrew mccabe doubling down on why he says he was fired from the fbi, mccabe also says -- mccabe says deputy attorney general rod rosenstein was not joking about wearing a wire to record the president although rosenstein maintains that the comments were made in jest. >> i believe i was fired because i opened the case against the president of the united states. the deputy attorney general offered to wear a wire into the white house. he said, i never get searched and i can easily wear a recording device, they wouldn't know i was there. now, he was not joking, she was absolutely serious. rob: rosenstein thrown

but steven miller says the president will veto that. let's bring in john cox. you think of all this, john? >> it's a bunch of politicians in california like mr. whe becea and mr. newsom who don't want to solve this. the president is the commander-in-chief, he's charged with protecting the nation. if he was building a wall in korea nobody would care. but he's building a wall eye along the southern border because of gangs, drugs, trafficking, things damaging this country. people below other countries like venezuela and central america because we respect the fact that the u.s. stand for the rule of law. what does it say when our politicians don't care about the rule of law and they are willing to wink at people who break the rule of law and come here. we need to make this country great. and that's been our history. it's also our history that we respect the rule of law. liz: the "new york times" reporting thousands of migrants are rushing back home. the "times" admitting in their reporting that these migrants are not fleeing persecution, they are look for jobs whic

the "state of the union," they are teleprompter speeches, written largely by steven miller, everyone will admit is an immigration hard liner and, marc short, it's interesting he led with immigration reform, that's something the democrats and president can work together. do you think the president can credibly reach across the aisle tonight? >> i think the president is wounded coming to the "state of the union," still reeling ended. i think some of the guests indicate he will have hardline stance on immigration. marc and i have talked about this on this program before, there is a more moderate road to talk about broad immigration reform. i think he wants that. very much wants a victory on the wall, however that can be defined and still pushing toward that and is determined to get to that place, whether it requires a national emergency or not. i think that political position the president comes in with is one that will still constrain him. yes, he'll talk about criminal justice reform prescription drug bill, possible areas of reconciliation. there's a lot of ground to cover before he c

i think that will be steven miller, why did you set me up in that moment?tter trump is what matters, right? teleprompter trump, we've seen it, we've reacted to it. it doesn't last long. we'll see how he tweets this morning. we'll talk to you in about half an hour, thank you. >> the president presiding over roaring economic growth. listen. >> in just over two years since the election we have launched an unprecedented economic boom. a boom that has rarely been seen before. >> all right, fact-checking the president here. he can claim some credit for the acceleration of this economy on his watch but not most of it. yes, the economy grew at a rate of 4.2% in the second quarter of 2018 fueled in part by the surge in government defense spending. but by the third quarter, growth had fueled by 3.4%. but the president said this about wages. >> wages are rising at the fastest pace in decades. and growing for blue collar workers who i promise to fight for, they're growing faster than anyone else. >> now, since late 2017, wage growth has picked up, especially for rank a

senior white house policy adviser steven miller, that airs at 2:00 and 7:00 p.m.stern right here on fox news channel, be sure to check local listings to see when it airs on your fox affiliate eric. according to witnesses at the scene who were part of the termination meeting, during this meeting he was terminated and my understanding from the witnesses he opens fire right after the termination. correct. >> and then he moved out of the room. >> we believe that several people that were involved in that meeting are the ones who are deceased. eric: tragic in illinois where police say that the employee who opened fire at illinois warehouse told he was being fired at the time from his job and started shooting, gary martin killed 5 people before officers killed yesterday, this happened in chicago suburb. 5 officers wounded in shootout, now more information about martin's violent past. live from aurora, illinois, hi, mike. >> eric, we know from the police chief now the opinion that gary martin should have never had a gun, multiple run-ins with police, 6 arrests here in aur

one interesting indicator is that the speech is apparently being written by steven miller, the young aid who has been the architect of president trump's hard line strategy who seemed to have had a strong hand in the famous american carnage inauguration speech, as well. it's hard for me to imagine that whether there are boiler plate phrases in there seeking bipartisanship, whether democrats will come out and see and hear a bipartisan overturn that has a meaningful chance of leading to a sustained different course in the politics, we know for better for worse where our politics are right now and they are the politics of division and partisanship and discord. >> that's a good point. jack, just a quick answer, if you can, given to what she said, he's going into the speaker of the house, bad for the country, we have to get the ball and declare an emergency, what they bring me, if it doesn't include the wall, there is not -- i mean -- >> look. at this point in bill clinton's presidency, i was there. his reelect number now going into the second term was 39%. so he was well under water as we
