united states. president obama and that the congress, republicans and democrats supported a a 38 billion-dollar aid pack. a two state solution to a one state solution, what does that really mean? the whole point of the two state solution is acknowledging an israeli and palestinian state living side-by-side. our commitment to the jewish democratic state and it is just going to live in peace with secure borders, it has palestinians that have their own aspirations for their own state. a two state solution's promise is that there will be security for israel. if you have a one state solution, what will happen is it throws into question the jewish and democratic tradition of that great state of israel. >> ed: the premise you just said about security for israel does not exist right now. there are many palestinians just trying to kill them. terrorism is rampant there. >> you are right. those of us who support a two state solution acknowledge that the palestinians have to acknowledge the right of israel to exist. until they do, that is an obvious obstacle to any kind of peace. the one state solution, you ha

republican party. look for how president trump is going to be able to work with uniting the republican party and if he is able to do that when it gets to congress. next week, the president will be addressing a joint session of congress, laying out his priorities from a policy standpoint. tomorrow after the budget meeting today, he will be joined by top ceos from around the country to again continue discussing his economic agenda. vonnie: we will check in later on. heaven's a really, our chief washington correspondent for bloomberg news. mark: let's get the potential impact by bringing in dan maes. he joins us now from our washington bureau. this crackdown on it undocumented immigrants, let's look at the economic impact starting with the jobs. is it going to strain an already tight labor market in the u.s.? >> in the absence of anything else, that is probably right. in tom's interview with steve roach this morning, stephen made a good point. there is little that is immediately actionable about this, but that doesn't mean that the long-term consequences are insignificant. , in teeth aconomy country, which is built on immigration. i naturalized my

again, there's nothing wrong with the government of the united states as it did with barack obama and republican congress agreeing that certain countries pose a heightened risk of terrorism and reform our policies accordingly. we can expect more over the top, overwrought rhetoric when this policy comes out again, but i think it will be successful. it's really important that we see the end of the ninth circuit decision because the truth is the university of washington and minnesota, they do not have the right to say we want more revenue from foreign students. so we will override the national government immigration policy, that is not how it works. >> jenna: interesting part of the case we will be watching. james, great to have you on the program, get to have you back, thank you very much. quick programming out as well on something we don't want you to miss tonight. immigration is such a big topic and we have no idea what we will hear from the white house today moments from now.

republicans are concerned about the price tag that donald trump's wall could cost. upwards of $15 billion. as we know, the trump administration wants congress to appropriate that money before mexico reimburses the united states. wolf, a lot of republicans are skeptical that mexico will pay back the costs of the wall. it was a centerpiece of donald trump's presidential campaign. >> we will build a wall. mexico is going to pay for the wall. we're going to stop drugs from coming in. >> reporter: that campaign promise to build a wall along the entire border with mexico is now crashing into a different type of wall on capitol hill. a growing number of republicans are pushing back on his plans which could cost anywhere from $12 billion to $15 billion and could add to the deficit. >> i don't want to see any spending, additional spending on anything done that's not paid for. any type -- there's so many things that people are talking about spending money on. and at the same time, lowering the amount of revenues that we take in here in the country. and it's a recipe for disaster. >> reporter: president trump continues to insist that mexico will fully reimburse the u.s. for the wall. >> mexico in some form, and

was accustom to dealing with before becoming president of the united states and that is why president trump and the republicans in congress are trapped in a nightmare of their own making in their desperate and confused attempt to repeal and replace obamacare. and they're trying to do that. that huge legislative endeavor. while the air of scandal and incompetence thickens around the white house. >> this budget will be a public safety and national security budget. >> from talking to my constituents over the last week during recess, one of their greatest fears of this president is that he's going to get us engaged in war. >> republican and democratic leaders in the house, they are split over how to go forward investigating president trump and his advisers over alleged ties to russia. >> i don't have any evidence that would -- of any phone calls. that doesn't mean they don't exist, but i don't have that. >> we haven't obtained any of the evidence yet, so it's premature for us to be saying we reached any conclusion about the issue of collusion. >> how many people have to say there's nothing there before you realize there's not

but while the executive branch of the united states may want to warm things up with russia there are many republicans in congresshat aren't so sure. including senator marco rubio, that after a confidential briefing with fbi director james comey tweeted that republicans and democrats will now be open to a full investigation into russia's role in attempt to interfere with the past presidential election. of course, rubio is from florida where trump will be later this afternoon. >> let's talk about the vice president's rally and the president's reassurance tour and bring in sarah westwood. and cnn politics reporter eugene scott. good morning to both of you. let's start with you, eugene. put up the numbers here, george w. bush launched his election 846 days into his president. barack obama larged his presidency 820 days. trump just a few weeks ago why is this happening so early? is this to send a message to the gop or take care of events like we're seeing today? >> i certainly think it's in part to send a message to potential challengers none of which have surfaced so far. but i also think donald trump wants to keep

congress later this week. an opposition movement is growing across the united states. it's called the indivisible. its members have no problem calling out elected republican officials to hold the president accountable. it's an uprising taking place across the united states. aser surfaces at town halls protesters band together. whether in nebraska, pennsylvania or indiana. in the state of iowa the state's republican senator slipped out a side door after being confronted by angry voters. republicans standing up for the president's policies have come under similar criticism. the atmosphere at these town hall gatherings is electric. sender tim cook could barely address constituents at this town hall as voters expressed concern with changes to their health care policy without anything credible to replace obamacare. this protest movement again online. like me, you've been pretty freaked out about trump and his agenda. >> the site lays out steps together the attention of members of congress. over one million copies have been downloaded and both the president and the white house spokesperson say this isn't a natural grassroots movement. paidys become a very astro

republicans, senator in congress. they don't like it but trump said, hey it could lead to more jobs in the united states, what do you think? >> it could. as complicate as it might be. it complicated. we don't see that part of the discussion. i personally don't think that job creation is our a byproduct of good policy, if you target trying to create jobs, you want to make a good regulatory and business environment with taxes that will lead to job creation, but job creation should not be goal of policy directly to make jobs by changing the stock to come from other countries. -- that is artificial. >> good point. here is the thing, kevin, stocks continue, this is astonishing, record highs after record highs since the election. if we don't get the tax cuts expected, could we see a pullback. we have not seen a run like this in 30-years. >> it will be hard to see a major pullback, we're still in a very low interest rate environment, we barely raised rates, there that thrill for a yield, and companies are generating cash. you look at dividend yield s&p 500, that is lending a lot of credence, a lot of companies, like home depot t

last month speaking to republican members of congress, and this is the response from the mexican -- "it isnieto evidently have some differences with the government and the united states, like the construction of the wall, which of course, mexico will not pay for." guest: i think it is clear, mexico has said all along that they will not pay for the wall and mexico should feel justified in recognizing that mexican migration to the united states is at its one point and more than 20 years. we are looking right now at net negative migration from mexico. there are more mexicans leaving the united states and our mexico -- then there are mexicans coming to the united states. there is no doubt there are still some undocumented immigrants, but we are seeing a net outflow. for mexico to being asked to paper wall to keep up their citizens were not going there is completely perverse. theree are seeing is that are central americans that come up through mexico, but mexico, in addition, been doing an incredible job for the united states on its own southern border of guatemala and belize. 170 5000 central americans. those are people that did not get to the u.s.-mexico border,

pharmaceutical industry owns united states congress and in all fairness, i will admit, not just republicans over the democratic party as well. right now the reality is uniquely in the whole world you can walk in tomorrow to your pharmacy and price you pay could be double or triple and nothing anybody can do about it. what do we have to do? tell the pharmaceutical industry which in 2015 made $50 billion in profit for the faif major companies where the top ten executives made over $300 million in compensation, be loud and clear, stop ripping off the american people. two things to do immediately. ted is right, interintroduced and look forward to your cosponsorship, legislation to say that pharmacists and distributors and american people should be able to buy these drugs anyplace in the world. international competition to drive down the prices second thing. and i think donald trump may even be on board with this, hard to believe but, we should be negotiating drug prices through medicare. medicare spends zillions of doar

united states. he's alienating himself among the 54% of people who didn't vote for him. republicans in congress are going to get antsy about this. and i think the story of the day is not just flynn, by the way, and you mentioned mitch mcconnell. senator mcconnell also said the most serious question is, russia meddling in our election. and the foreign policy chair, bob corker saying, russia is the elephant in the room. and their intelligence committee is going into this. frankly, that's where people ought to be focused. the implications of russia meddling in our election while we have a president who says, as you pointed out, the key thing he said was, i have no knowledge of whether any of my campaign aides were communicating with russia, that's going to be the hub of this story going forward because if they did, and russia was meddling, that is a very different ball of wax for this administration. >> john dean, you're a lawyer. you're the lawyer in the room, not the elephant in the room, the lawyer in the room. i have no knowledge of that allow donald trump to get away with, potentially? >> wel

has been out there on his own as about time the republicans in congress in the senate get off of their behind and pass something. the president of the united states has the constitutional on his side. history and precedent on his side. in the most liberal core on the planet is going to overturn all of that i'm sick and tired of the president of the united states doing what he has the authority to do in all of these gutless quiet republicans on the health city with him. they need to back him right now. there should be a piece of legislation on his desk tomorrow. i agree trump ought to write up another executive order right now. but there ought to be a piece of legislation on his desk before the end of business tomorrow. this is just liberal politics. they will be on his side because they're afraid right now to vote against him. i know privately a lot of my former colleagues are afraid to stick their neck out on this issue. but trump has a window here where he can force them to any ought to do it. the republican party party has got to be there with them. any of the folks out there have been very quiet on this or had expressed some of these f

he's talked a lot about trying to unite the country but hasn't really done anything proactively to try to do that and he's not helping republicans in congresslp him achieve his legislative goals. i received some text messages during the press conference who were sort of rolling their eyes, completely perplexed at what this does to help them and their cause. >> a really remarkable hour and 15 minutes. a lot-us will remember that news conference for a long time to come. guys, thanks very much for all of that. that's all the time we have. thanks very much for watching. our special coverage continues with "erin burnett out front." >>> we're just trying to manage this bleep. that's how one republican congressman describes this press conference and trump's favorite news outlet calling him out tonight. >>> and a reporter out front tonight. >>> on the great wall. wait till you hear what it's going to look like. those new details "out front."

united states signed. >> that's going to make it useful for republicans. they'll say rather than courts stealing power from congressg power from president trump who's trying to keep it safe. so either way it's going to work but this situation is unprecedent sod we'll see how long the talking point is effective. >> matthew, a lot of people have viewed the story of this executive order as kind of this test in miniature of american institutions. we knew we were in uncharted territory in certain historical senses with president trump, someone who never served a single moment any public office in the military for the first time this constitutional republic's history and the question of how our government will respond. what's your assessment of how it's responding three weeks in? >> well you're right. he was elected president by showing how so many institutions could fail. the republican party, in some ways the press and tonight was a big example of the court saying at least we are not going to it is idly by and let the president make whatever claims about executive power he wants to make. there were two things the court

the republicans seem to be a united front on getting the remaining ones confirmed and there were still deep disagreements with them and the members of congresst trump treats his displeasure and mccain and blumenthal criticizing the policy to the media. after senator mccain questions the success of a recent raid that left one dead and blumenthal told reporters that during a private meeting supreme court nominee expressed concern over the comments about the judiciary. the president has said the press is mischaracterizing his comments and his sense uses twitter account to criticize he and mccain. blumenthal says he hopes trump will listen to his staff. in washington, fnc. >> another executive order can come from the trump administration. it's a foreign terrorist organization. the islamic group see a worldwide caliphate based on law but they say it's not enough of a reason along with the dozens of otherslisted by the state department like al qaeda , hamas, the radical terrorist devices and other groups. critics argue that blacklisting the entire muslim brotherhood would be counterproductive. >> muslim brotherhood is banned and fivemuslim countri

united states. that's happening already there's a lot going on in congress, i spoke with joy reid, there's drama in terms of the republicans in the senate silencing elizabeth warren as she quoted from coretta scott king, coretta scott king's letter about jeff sessions in 1986. they said she was impugning another senator and have ruled against her and ordered her to be quiet. she may have to be quiet in the senate but she's going to join us live on this show in just a moment. there's a lot going on tonight. frankly too much to get to. i'll stop talking now and we'll be right back with elizabeth warren. cavities and restores tooth enamel. it's an easy way to give listerine® total care to the total family. listerine® total care. one bottle, six benefits. power to your mouth™. >>> okay, so we have been keeping an eye on a developing situation tonight in the u.s. senate. democrats tonight have been trying to take a stand trying to hold the senate floor in protest of jeff sessions' nomination as attorney general. in the last few hours, massachusetts senator elizabeth warren took the stand to read an interesting piece of senate h
