>> yes. >> susan collins? >> yes. >> i believe very much that roe v. wade is settled law. very proud of my strong pro choice record. i've been endorsed by planned parenthood. >> that was then but that record is now the problem. if there's one thing that pro choice and pro life advocates agree on is that this all comes down to the supreme court which has the final say on whether first there's a right to abortion and second whether women have access to doctors who perform them. take either of those away, the right in roe v. wade or the doctors in any given state and that choice is practically gone. that's why pro choice protestors were gathering there. you remember at collins' office last fall, urging her to live up to her pledges about this issue and oppose brett kavanaugh who was widely expected to be a vote against abortion and abortion access at the time. now, in a sign that collins didn't want to be seen as any kind of automatic yes for him and that she wanted to telegraph some kind of uncertainty about kavanaugh, senator collins made a point of joining a handful of oth

>> one political point on this, remember susan collins and some of the pro-choice republicans who --usan collins, specifically, decided to vote for kavanaugh in the end, and she argued strenuously that her private conversations with kavanaugh, her review of his record, led her to believe that she -- that he would be on the other side of decisions like this. and i think there are going to be a lot of questions for susan collins about whether she was correct or not in that judgment, but it also says that there have been previous abortion cases that didn't come down this way, but it does suggests that roberts is not a sure vote to overturn roe v. wade. he's been slightly more nuanced on this than i think some people expected. but watch people talking about susan collins in the coming days and her judgment about kavanaugh and what this decision says about that decision. >> interesting. renato, i also want to get your take on what you think of the special counsel's investigation. mueller's team says the august 2016 meeting between the trump campaign manager paul manafort, his russian asso

. >> susan collins and thom tillis said it could set a bad precedent. and ann coulter -- >> so forget the fact that he's digging his own grave. this is just look the only national emergency is our president is an idiot. >> mike, this is far from over. >> reporter: well that's right. you've outlined very well the court cases to come, the congressional action to come, and even the president, i thought it was very interesting in his rambling rose garden appearance yesterday said this is a national emergency, no question about it. yet he said in the same brett or t -- same breath or in the next breath, i didn't have to do it. the president doesn't have the votes in congress to do what he wants to do and threw see him just moments after declaring that national emergency yesterday afternoon absconding aboard air force one to mar-a-lago where he'll be playing golf. this is far from over. it's unclear how much the president is actually going to be redirecting those military funds. will it be 2 billion, 8 billion, everybody sort of waiting to see exactly what he

republicans have also been speaking out to condemn the move including mitt romney marco rubio senator susan collins issued a written statement saying that this move constituted a dangerous precedent for future presidents now though it's expected that this national emergency will face drawn out legal battles potentially going all the way to the supremes court that means a lot more talk many legal documents and for the president a lot less wall than his promise to deliver its state of the munich security conference with global leaders meeting in the german city of munich to discuss peace and diplomacy around thirteen heads of state and government are attending to debate a range of topics and later today german chancellor angela merkel will speak about the role of europe in the world a topic of growing importance to germany. he couldn't have made his point more clearly the head of the munich security conference called the proceedings waiting and beauty votes going fishing or wants world leaders to know that europe has to fulfill its rule within the growing struggle of the superposed the us russia and

statement which was issued i want to take a look at that now it's from the senator through maine susan collins that see if we can bring that up it says that declaring a national emergency would be a mistake on the part of the president such a declaration would undermine the role of congress it also sets a bad precedent for future presidents it is also of judas constitutionality which i mean essentially sets out the main arguments against this move by the president this is a president who made a lot of time paying the pledges among some was repealing obamacare he's kind of goal is sort of got a little bit not so he's reduced to taxes as he said he would what is this promise about a wall so important he would go to these extraordinary lengths feel he doesn't want to lose face this was a main promise as part of his campaign pledge to make america great again he continues to tap into that populist fear that the united states of being invaded by a wave of illegal immigration is what he says despite the fact that the numbers speak otherwise but he wants to deliver to his base and secure a second ter

marco rubio for one mitt romney we also had a statement condemning the move from the maine senator susan collins up haps we can take a look at that in more detail a great quote here she said declaring a national emergency would be a mistake on the part of the president such a declaration would undermine the role of congress it also sets a bad precedent for future presidents it is also g.b.s. she writes here constitutionally so yeah that essentially sets out many of the facets of the problem at hand here so i mean he's really going to swim upstream when it comes to this it is clear that he's going to have some challenges why is this campaign promise so important to him. well that's a very good question essentially it all comes down to the fact that the president doesn't want to lose face all of this this was a central tenet of his campaign pledge to make america great again he continues to insist that illegal immigration is at such a level that a border wall has to exist despite the fact that the numbers supporting that suggest otherwise he wants to reach out to his base he wants to give them a w

for republicans to join them to pass it they appear to have at least three republican senator susan collins lisa murkowski in thom tillis say they will vote to overturn trump's order if republicans in congress line up behind the president the message will be clear he can do what he wants if some republicans even a few say no that might at least you know provide some reason for him to be carefully if the senate votes with the house the president would be forced to veto the measure as he's promised to do and congress is unlikely to muster the two thirds majority it needs to override him but there would be no mistaking when it comes to declaring an emergency on the border the president is largely going it alone. even if opponents of the president's emergency order fail with the white house and congress they could still succeed with the third branch of government the courts where they are already arguing that there is no emergency south of the border john hendren al jazeera washington they came alone children in a foreign country taken into custody and now democrats in congress have released in

we have lisa murkowski and susan collins and tom tillis saying they may not support t but you were at that press conference when nancy pelosi said on february 14th, a democratic president would use power to declare that national emergency. almost giving the argument to conservatives on capitol hill as to why they don't want to support the emergency declaration. >> nancy pelosi went ahead and said i wouldn't support a democratic president overstepping in this way. obviously that's not the situation we are in currently, but there were so many republicans before this national emergency who were declared who were on the record saying this was a bad idea and an overstepping of executive authority. it was potentially unconstitutional and even a violation of congress's powers. you have seen a split emerge. house republicans are trying to basically hold the line in this vote that is going to be in the house later on today. in the senate, the debate is very much different. i pressed the leaders on both sides today about what exactly they think about the legality of this move on the president's

now, susan collins is another member of the committee, said that yes indeed he's been going through a, quote, extensive grilling. she said he's a different kind of person, suggested there's some new information they are learning. what we're told is behind closed doors that the committee members themselves are not actually doing the questioning, it's being led by the staff investigators of the senate intelligence committee, they're the one who are doing the grilling of michael cohen. the senators were attending or passing along questions or notes to the staffers who are going along and asking these questions. this is the only committee that's going to be operating like that. tomorrow, of course, brooke, public setting they're going to be talking about a whole range of other topics. the hush money payments that occurred between michael cohen and those women who alleged affairs with the president, the president's involvement with that. being implicated in crimes that michael cohen provides to provide new information about raising those allegations publicly tomorrow and then thursday befo

. >> in the meantime, republican senator susan collins saying she's surprised by cohen's testimony and that he came across as a, quote, very different guy. we're told the nine hours were very intense and the grilling was extensive. >> what i intend to keep focused on is untangling the very complicated financial arrangement between donald trump and russia. >> trump's finances, his businesses, his family, his dealings with russia, nothing was off limits today. kamala harris left the hearing today and said she learned something new. what was it? it's only 15 hours before michael cohen is back. it will be his final testimony before heading to prison. one thing we know, president trump is going to be glued to cohen's testimony tomorrow. a senior white house official telling cnn that trump plans to stay up overnight in hanoi, not sleep at all because he wants to watch michael cohen. manu, that's a hugely significant thing, the president not even able to sleep, focusing on cohen and not kim. start with what you're learning what happened today. he just came out of that room with the senate int

senator susan collins said, if it's a clean disapproval resolution, i will support it. and republican senator lisa murkowski said this. >> i think it's so important that there be clear lines when it comes to the separation of powers, the institution of the congress as that appropriating branch. i want to make sure that what, in fact, we are voting on when it comes to the senate is what i believe it is. if it's what i have seen right now, i will support the resolution to disapprove. >> 58 former senior government officials have signed onto a joint bipartisan statement saying, quote, in our professional opinion, there is no factual basis for the declaration of a national emergency for the purpose of circumventing the appropriations process and reprogramming billions of dollars in funding to construct a wall at the southern border. the co-signers of that statement include former secretaries of state john kerry and madeleine albright, john brennan, former defense secretary and former director of the cia, leon panetta, samantha power, undersecretary of state, wendy sherman.

we also had a statement condemning the move from the main senator -- the maine senator, susan collins. she said that declaring a national emergency would be a mistake on the part of the president. it also sets a bad precedent for future presidents. that essentially sets out many of the facets of the problem at hand here. sarah: he's really going to swim upstream when it comes to this. it's clear he is going to have some challenges. why is this campaign promise so important to him? helena: it essentially all comes down to the fact that the president doesn't want to lose face on this. this was a central tenet of his campaign pledge to make america great again. he continues to insist that a border wall has to exist because of illegal immigration being at such a high level. he wants to reach out to his base, give them a win, and he is eyeing 2020 and a second term. sarah: so we are potentially already in election mode, perhaps. helena humphrey, from washington, thank you. a quick check on other stories making news. a former governor of massachusetts is considering whether to challenge don

everyone from susan collins to mitt romney to the more libertarians like mike lee or rand paul, raisingions about whether or not the president can or should go this route. now they will have an opportunity to vote on it. here is where the specifics are important. several of those senators said they wanted to look at the resolution very closely to see how narrowly tailored it was. joaquin castro, the democrat in the house who authored this resolution, he and his staff spent six weeks putting it together with exactly that in mind. they know they can get this passed by just democrats in the house but that they'll need republican support in the senate. so keeping this very narrowly tailored, very specific to the emergency declaration that this president has declared, and not liable to pull in escape hatches and off-ramps for republican senators who have been on the record about executive overreach but may not want to support this will be key. we'll be watching some of those folks when they come back to washington early next week, because the house has said they're going to move really fast

so you could have thom tillis and susan collins flip, but you need 60 votes to pass these issues. that's really been the stumbling block, is that 60-vote threshold, and even if you have 60 votes, as you do on some these house bills, one member objects, it can take up to three days in the senate to get it through. it eats up a lo tt of floor tim. understand how dysfunctional this is. finger pointing. have two dysfunctional parties when you get down it at this point, have their own agendas, focused on the 2020 election. looks to me they're saying we're going to argue this out for two years and send it to the voters in 2020 which is a loss, 2 years, frankly. in a competitive global economy, that's not a got thing. >> jim, let me ask you one question. tom davis mentioned impeachment. that's going to be a big, big decision of 2019. the mueller report we think is going to come out soon. a lot of people thought it would come out by now. newt gingrich said if the report concludes that trump jaywalked, then the left is going to push for impeachment. now, obviously, there have been a lot of

and in the senate, susan collins has said she will already support it.the senate question marks be when they said they have eight or nine. >> morgan: what i don't think they will have as a veto-proof majority in the senate. ultimately, if this does get to the president, this is a poetical exercise on behalf of the democrats. because they will clearly veto this bill. >> marie: but will also be interesting how other republicans and senate -- and i mention this yesterday on the couch -- they are your number of republicans up for reelection in 2020. people like sonny purdue and tom tillis and joni ernst. >> morgan: david purdue. [laughter] a >> marie: sorry! i'm having a moment. that was good, thank you. yes, senator purdue. >> ari: deep knowledge! [laughter] >> marie: i think it's about putting republicans on the record on many things they've spoken not on the past. executive power. they spoke about this issue. getting them on the record, i think, is an important thing to do. because the bins outspoken. there are a number of republicans besides the collins

what is susan collin going to do who is up for reelection in 2020? what is rubio going to do? are a host of republicans here, what is myitt romney goin to do? folks who have pushed back on the record about executive overreach who are now looking down the barrel of a president of their own party doing exactly what they condemn for the eight years of obama presidency in various fashions and how do they react? you could conceivably find yourself in a situation where that resolution gets 50 votes in the senate, and then you have the president having to issue his first veto on the single most emotionally resident to him and his base. we're staring into this possibility of just a huge political battle over this, and so much of it is going to depend on how republicans in the senate want to view their legacies and their standing on this issue. >> and garrett, the door is opening. president trump is walking out of the oval office preparing to take the audience there live coverage of the president's remarks on declaring a national emergency and keeping the government open. we're going t

howie: susan collins and other republicans are opposed to this declaration. beverly: we know this is a possibility from trump even when the shutdown happened. republicans looked at it and said we didn't like the when obama did it. the media has never covered it the same way we are seeing the coverage now. one of the problems with the coverage for president trump is it changed the news cycle that was very favorable to him. you had what happened in virginia with the scandals there, you also had the new green deal which was very positive when it came to republicans and president trump. howie: he had a deadline. either the government was going to shut down or he would have a deal. president obama protected the dreamers and did an end-run around congress. philippe: ben did a better job of conveying why there should be an emergency than the president's sing song recital of it. immigration is the third rail in republican politics. and trump keeps touching his hand, whether it was sean hannity or ann coulter, they are the ones being most of vicious about him. you can

democrats need at least for republicans to support it, so far only susan collins said that maybe shell vote for. a handful of others have expressed concerns over his use of emergency powers. in the oval office, the president was confident that his move would be supported, and even if they do not, he said that there is no way. >> everybody needs knows that we need more security. we need a wall. will i veto it? 100%. 100%. we have too many smart people that want border security, so i cannot imagine. i will veto it, yes. >> this would be the first veto of president trump's administration. there is not a lot of optimism that congress will get the two thirds vote to override him. just to be clear, this is the first of many fights ahead. in washington, foxnews. >>> new figures about the prices of at restaurants, may have you canceling your reservations. the cost of dining out at full- service restaurants are on the rise. it will go up .5% from the prior month. this is the biggest month increase since march 2011. they point to increase factors like labor. >>> coming up, the preparations und
