the irs, as we all know the irs is the one agency in federal government upon which every federal ac tive teaease depend. the reason for that is they collect the revenue required to keep the government functioning. this is important function in our government and function we where process really matters. therefore, it is critical that the irs collected the revenue under our new tax laws in a fair, efficient, and effective manner. when we drain the irs of resources and handicap its ability to collect revenue, that isn't merely a loss in revenue for the federal government. it also means that the treasury must borrow more money, causing our country to go further into debt. that's because the federal government doesn't shrink when the irs fails to collect taxes owed. therefore, handicapping the irs is also sad link future generations with billions of dollars of debt that they are going to have to repay one way or another. but having said that, let me be clear. the irs stands at cross roads. on ts one hand irs has made marked improvements in recent years, including catching more identify fraud

when you drill down and look at that substan tich tively. the stormy daniels matter is small. tech technical. sued trump specifically because of this. because, see where that is highlighted. see her -- her signature there. but that's highlighted line there, see, no signature. the president didn't sign the agreement. that's the basis for the whole stormy daniels lawsuit. the conflict between stormy daniels and the president is he didn't sign on the yellow highlighted line there. the deal its not valid. thatali is the stormy daniels. >> lawsuit. a lot of is not. small matter. didn't sign it. also a civil case about the payment that happened before the election. even though this one has been much lower profile. a much more substantive legal case. the case involving karen mcdougal. playboy model. said she had a ten month long relationship with the president. she brought a civil law suit. didn't soup the president directly. she sued the business that paid her for her story. effectively paid her to not talk about her alleged affair. that its american media incorporated. the basis fo

however, it is impeer tive that the government does these provided by the agreement in a wise fashion. in the interests of national security, policies designed to secure our borders against the threat of terrorism, criminal networks cannot be based on misinformation or derived from arbitrary presidential treats. rather it is dependent on policies developed through bipt crit stism and grounded entirely in fact. to this end, they must also be undertaken in a manner that avoids due humanization and a ford's respect to nation of immigrants. also adheres to 1951 geneva convention relating to the status of refugees. in view of all these considerations it's important to review president trump to order deployment up to 4,000 personnel to the u.s. mexican border. clearly this decision is not unprecedented. both president george bush and obama previously in advocated title 32 authority to temporarily deploy thousands of national guard units to the southwest border to provide technical, logistical and administrative support to the u.s. border patrol. it is not worthry while the u.s. border patro

i didn't kn aow tively practiced law. but mr. trump has the ability to hire whoever he wants. at the end of the day, i hope this will also meamr. trump will also allow the mueller investigation to continueun peded because, at the end of the day, americans deserve the answer from his investigation and, frankly, from our senate intelligence investigation as g ll. >> reporter: speak the mueller investigation, you and other bipartisan senators are supporting legislation to protect robert mueller's job. wh >> well, judy, over the last year, we've seen this prede turn his ire on anybody that crosses him. we've seen him attack comey mueller. his own original attorney general mr. sessions had to recuse himself because he was involved with some of these ssian activities, and we set up this special prosecutor to be overseen by a long-term career individual republican rod rosenstein, and the president says there's nothing yet, yet he continues to think on press reports thrink of fiing mueller, may have tried to pull the trigger a couple of tes. on top of that you have the president makin

where active duty national guard were put into tive duty status and deployed overseas. we weren't that far after cat riba. national guard was still doing a lot of cleanup in those areas. so there were a loof other duties that people wanted the national guard to be doing. this wasn't top of mind. like i said there werle cals and the governors were eager to do it because of the flow happen at the time. so he with worked o outem agts. there were 6,000 at most at any given time over the two years, rdout 29,000 national gua troops on active duty circulated roles.h thos >> with was your experience with the governors and the pentagon? >> the governors were okay with thplan and i think at the time it was very pliltically heated time, there were some goernors calling for moore troops especially in arizona and other republican 2k3w06er in led states but the pentagon was reluctant to domission and concerned about the funding and this draining from other priorities. d it work.ickly >> we transitioned, to make this point quickly, it will be interesting to see what the president does

they wave tive the privilege. but most important here, if the documents, because we're talking about documents here or any communication is involved in a crime or fraud where the lawyer is involved, the privilege is pierced. it is gone. and of course that's what's at issue. >> any sort of at least temporary win for michael cohen in the sense that i know they wanted to go through all of the documents seized themselves. the judge said no. the prosecutors wanted a taint team to come in. the judge said no to that either it the judge said you're going to have a special master come in. >> perhaps. >> tell us what a special master is. >> what we have here is really cl delay. what we have from kimba wood as a judge is to say she's going to consider whether a taint team from government or a special master will review these documents. meanwhil meanwhile, the government indexed them digitally. they give a copy of that to cohen so he'll be happy. so cohen and president trump are not going to decide what is privileged here. ul

and i think from our spear tech tive oftentimes these frame works are put in place by big business or powerful interest groups and they in turn create barriers for entry for smaller businesses. they limit competition. and of course as a result then raise substantially the cost of goods and services for all of us. so really focused on lifting burdens that are no longer working. let me say a little bit about why i think some of these reforms are also so important. to the rule of law. and we are very concerned that regulatory policy in general follows clear legal principles which allows the notice to have allows the public to have notice of their regulatory obligations and provides a clear and stable framework for planning. i think we do this in a few different ways. so one of the first questions we ask in agency that's looking to regulator really deregulate is to make sure that what they are doing is consistent with law. and so we work with agencies to make sure that they are interpreting statutes to mean what they say and we want to respect the law making it power of congress by not ex
