ugly when i was a child because i wasn't as as white as the quote unquote pretty kid. you know i mean just growing up a lot of the insults that he has with throat with each other when we were younger was always attacking the color. it would always be like. your mama she thought black and like you know for some reason like that for me just and see blackness was always around us i mean i you know it's ok while to really embrace who i am and to realize that my skin is beautiful and and clearly now there is more but i realize that even amongst us here on the set and on the show because we started the show there's laughter there but underneath it there is pain as we're hearing which is what this tweet here from robert west says there's coping utilized in public and in private private battles and where one realizes such a construct wreaks havoc on us all and so what that might look look like is a tweet from robert jordan who says there are cliques that can be created in school settings just by shades of skin color and the girls get it based on their looks so am i do you want

will start quote/unquote falling in love with republicans and their president. we are about results.

denied that his firm was, quote-unquote, democratically linked. that, too, was untrue. when the news finally broke, "new york times" reporters actually complained that people who knew better had flat-out lied to them about who funded mr. steele's dossier. but back before the 2016 election, it is unclear who knew that steele was gathering dirt on trump for the democratic national committee and for the clinton campaign. many of his sources for claims about the trump campaign are russian government officials, so steele, who was working for fusion g.p.s., who in turn was working for the democratic national committee and the clinton campaign, was also working with the russians. so who was actually colluding with russians is coming more clear. mr. steele chaired his at least partially russian-based allegations far and wide. he shared them with the f.b.i. he shared them with the media. and according to public reports, he shared them with high-ranking officials in the justice department and the state department. well, in the course of our review, senator graham of south carolin

be do something for me, unquote. or a reminder that tehran has continued to underwrite terror and bloodshed across the middle east during the four-plus years of rouhani's presidency. the people have also been chanting, quote, reformists, hardliners and the whole game is over, unquote. let's hope the same realization soon dawns in washington and brussels. third, the protesters put the lie to the obama administration's claims about the 2015 nuclear deal. remember when senior obama officials reassured americans that iran would use the sanctions relief under joint comprehensive plan of action to improve the lots of its people. here's how obama treasury secretary jack lou put it in the 2014 address. quote, many americans and many of our closest allies are understandably concerned that iran will use the money it receives as a result of sanctions relief to fund terrorism and support destabilizing proxies throughout the middle east. we share their concerns, and we're committed to maintaining sanctions that address these acti

certainly there is a kind of divide that you can feel you see not a do you worry about how quote unquote white me too is a result of unfair. i mean what i would like to see more of more of a focus on movements of particularly like the most oppressed groups who have actually been workin and violence against women for a long time some of the work that some of my previous administrations have done such as the african women's development fund which is their great macon fund which funds particularly small and medium sized women's rights organizations across the continent you know there are numerous small community based groups that have been working to end violence against women and what i tend to see that they focus on me too is focused on yes you know more privileged white woman in hollywood more privileged white women in north america without really acknowledge him the kind of community led efforts that have been going on. and balancing why do women why do you think it is that me too has been so success from a high profile in a way that other previous campaigns against gender based violenc

am wondering though do you think that this is something that scans both sides this is just quote unquote liberal media or mainstream media offering this or is this something that's also seen. from conservative media are they also getting a round up for people to see the other side and no i feel free to jump in here if you are the answer to that because i know you're yet another thing. up i think that. i don't want to speak for anyone but myself i speak to the impression that i get from dealing with people in the conservative media world i think there are belief is that they understand where the liberal left wing commentators are coming from a lot better than the other way around. and i think there's some truth to that i think there is a tendency on the on the left to sort of look it can sort of arguments as being not really arguments at all as being. one of advice stick motives and unconscious. prejudices rather than actual beliefs or arguments. but i do think that that's a problem on both sides and i think it's extremely common on the right for people to simply dismiss. anyone coming fr

as don young himself has so characteristically put it, those that think that i might retire, quote-unquote, i will not do. he believes in this institution. he believes in the work he does. this on his 16,374 day in the house, we extension tend our congratulations to don, to ann. thank you for your service to alaska and thank you for your service to this country, don young.

act as these i'm sorry and quote unquote sexual misconduct is a phrase used among many others there's been much debate about what belongs in the me to debate you know where does the spectrum of rape assault harassment misconduct begin and end to my question to you is how does a movement like me to move forward when there are already these accusations oh it's going too far and certain things don't belong in it whenever we have this historic moment where we're going through incredible change and where you're hearing voices that you haven't heard before there will always be people who are pulling this back and saying you've gone too far stop stop and we have to ignore those voices because they say that because this is an uncomfortable moment and discomfort is important for social change revolution is uncomfortable and i consider this a revolutionary moment one of many not the only obvious thing and i think that that this spectrum is exactly the best way to describe it this isn't. asked about your boss exposing himself to you or your boss demanding that you have sex with him or her so tha

a year ago people call the quote-unquote crazy. they called me crazy again. i think you've gone crazy but go ahead. >> next time since you are my friend, next time i take a job that doesn't pay money, call me crazy. [laughing] >> i told you not to take it. >> you did. >> i told you you were a masochist. >> you did. >> i i told you it would be thankless. >> and when i took this job i had no idea the extent of the hacking. i knew that a few e-mails had been leaked. i knew that several donors have been compromised. i knew that many of our staff people were under attack and harassed that i i know i did tt would impact not just my life personally but our country. and so there was a moment when i would call you, like i need republicans, we cannot do this alone. because our country was being attacked by a hostile foreign government. it's like somebody comes in and of major house, they get in your house and they say that they committed the window or through the door? but unlike watergate when the action came to the door, this was a 21st century crime, cybercrime. and

unquote. and disgusting. this morning the president tweeted, quote, the language used by me was tough but this was not the ladies and gentlemen used. the president's ambiguity there seems a little bit deliberate considering some of the reporting conflated what he said about the 54 nations of africa and haiti. he object today haitians coming to the u.s. but it was african countries that he specifically called shitholes. the president also tweeted in part, quote, never said anything derogatory about haitians, which is technically true, i suppose, he just exposed the opinion that the united states doesn't need more of them. he's being a bit cute there with his non-denial denials. senator dick durbin, democrat of illinois, who was in the room did not mince words today about what he heard in the oval office. >> in the course of his comments said things which were hate-filled, vile and racist. i use those words advisedly. i understand how powerful they are, but i cannot believe that in the history of the white hous

he's only in it for himself, unquote. the press secretary today describing the statement as the president's own words and explaining how it came about. >> i think there are a number of factors that played in. i would certainly think that going after the president's son in an absolutely outrageous and unprecedented way is probably not the best way to curry favor with anybody. >> bannon also got specific about where he thinks the mueller probe is going, saying, quote, this is all about money laundering and indicating investigators would go through paul manafort, donald trump jr. and trump's son-in-law, jared kushner, to get to president trump. guys, back to you. >> great reporting for us. thank you, lauren. >>> we're closely watching a winter storm. some neighborhoods will get slammed with snow and strong winds overnight. right now there's a blizzard warning for the jersey shore and delaware beaches. you're looking live now at cape may. temperatures will take a dive tonight when this nor'easter hits. >> icicles along kelly

unquote. what an absurd proposition. security experts have testified for decades that effective border security includes a variety of technologies and resources, drones, infrared sensors, customs and border patrol agents, officers, and in some places secure fencing is appropriate. we agree with that. these were all ideas included in comprehensive immigration reform. that the trump administration would cannibalize funding for these smart border security measures to pay for a wall that won't work makes no sense. he said he campaigned on it. oh, no, mr. president. you campaigned on a wall that mexico would pay for. we're waiting. but again, to take away the things that are needed to protect the border for a symbolic and ineffective political jes gesture? wrong. there's nothing to this but politics. president trump is fighting for an empty symbol rather than smart policy that will actually produce better security at our borders. we democrats are willing, able, and eager to work with our republican colleagues and the administ

he has the potential to become impulsive and very volatile, unquote. she say that to the assembled congress people? >> well, i think that dr. lee and other psychiatrist who've been up to meet with members of congress have been predicting increasingly delusional and paranoid behavior on the part of the president. of course, we're not mental health professionals, we're not psychiatrists, that's not our role, but we do have a very defined and important role under the 25th amendment to the constitution which is to set up a body that could act with the vice president in the event of an emergency when the president becomes unable for mental or physical reasons to successfully discharge the powers and duties of office. so the bill just sets up the body that would be able to go to work if there were a real crisis. >> but i guess one of the concerns would be a lot of these mental health experts and we've seen them weighing in in the "new york times" and on cable tv and elsewhere, there was something set up in the mental health community called the gold water ru

yet a year ago people called me quote unquote crazy. they're calling me crazy again. next time i take a job that doesn't pay money call me crazy. >> i told you not to take it and that you are a masochist you did track. >> i told you it would be thankless. >> when i took this job i had no idea the extent of the hacking. i knew that a few e-mails had been leaked and i knew that several donors had been compromised and i knew that many of our staff money were under attack but i had no idea it would impact my life but the whole country and there was this moment when i would call you and as public as we cannot do this alone because our country was being attacked by a hostile foreign government. it is like someone comes in and paint your house and they come into the window or through the door but unlike watergate this was a 21st century crime, a cybercrime, and no one at the dnc because of the layers we had no one told the person at the top that things are not happened in the right way so by the time i became chair it was already a mark and after i was seeing my brief i woul

not pointless to bring them facts so i'll not know the truth stillness is doing to a lot of quote unquote journalists in the united states today especially in the trump supporting part of the blogosphere and online journalism the bright bots the info was not about truth it's about conspiracy theory it's about politics and ship it's about pushing any nonsense as long as it supports your guy well i think something that happened with the conservatism that begins this idea that you were going to create a parallel media structure that was parallel to the new york times washington post but it was a conservative media structure and it would be. one where you know you have your weekly standards international reviews but then you also have your bright parts near info wars but then i think you also get to a sense that you know paul ryan you know in my opinion he's not a speaker of the speaker of the house of representatives he's not supporting trump because he wants to like hang out with him he's supporting trump because he really wants tax cuts it wasn't ever really about you know this private thi

just as it didn't have to be quote, unquote, treason.we get caught up in some of these words, as opposed to focusing, as you were saying before, this is a meeting that was set up in order to give dirt by a foreign power. that in and of itself is a bad thing. so i think what mueller trying to do is look at, okay, russian connections, what are they? what was -- even if it is not an expressed agreement, what is it that trump, who is talking favorably about, you know, putin and russia and what he wants to do, and the russians are signaling, you know, we can be helpful here, even if they don't sit down and sign an agreement. >> rick, bannon goes on to say that jared or don junior, these guys are going to get rolled by mueller. they're going to follow the money. they're going to say, play me or trade me here. does this show the naivety of putting your family members in office and the mistake? there was a "politico" piece earlier this week talking about jared saying, i'm a businessman. history isn't important to me. jared kushner is not a busin

forces a nightmare scenario and what could threaten a complete rupture in relations but unquoted offer appears a solution they call for the syrian kurdish forces to withdraw from the town of men before crossed the euphrates river and turkish forces would provide protection to those u.s. forces it's unclear whether washington is prepared to take up the offer back to you kerry in vienna parallel to those u.n. sponsored talks taking place in the austrian capital the russians are also sponsoring talks between various warring parties in syria what can you tell us about those talks. yes this is the peace congress set up for was so cheap for next week and the reaction from western diplomats in some arab states is that this is an attempt by moscow to undermine the u.n. peace talks and create a process that would be moved favorable to the government in damascus but we don't know we don't know who's attending the syrian opposition groups here in vienna say they haven't made up their mind about attending that might do that in the next couple of days but i've also said it's dangerous to set up a p

that the phrase had been introduced by stalin for the purpose of quote annihilating such individuals unquote who digreedith the supreme ader. this alone should be the source of great shame for us in this body. especially for those of us in the presidents party, for they are shameful, repulsive statements and, of course, the president has a precisely backward. despotism is the enemy of the people. the free press is the desperate enemy which makes the free press the guarding of democracy. when a figure in power reflexively calls any press that doesn'tis suit him fake news, it is that person who should be the figure of suspicion, not the press.le i dare say that anyone who said the privilege an awesome responsibility to serve in this chamber knows that these reflexive slurs of fake -- those of us who travel overseas especially to war zones and otherre troubled areas all aroud the globe encounter members of u.s.-based media who risk their lives and sometimes lose their lives, reporting on the truth. to dismiss their work as fake news is an affront to their commitment and their sacrifice. accordi

remember, he fires comey to quote, unquote take the pressure off, and it did exactly the opposite. here he's thinking what i will fire mueller and this will end the investigation? if he were a student of history he would know nixon tried that with cox on the saturday night massacre and it ultimately led to his impeachment. had he done that it would have led to another crisis. now we have a window into the president's thinking. when you analyze the president's activities therefore, understanding his intention here was to shut down the investigation by firing mueller, then everything has to be analyzed in terms of either, one, obstruction of justice type be haoeufr or, two, abuse of his constitutional authority, impeachable offense, styled behavior. it is interesting to find what was in the president's mind. these are crimes of intention, meaning you must intend to obstruct justice or you must intend to abuse the powers of your office. >> exactly. he didn't fire bob mueller. that in and of itself suspect the issue. what it tells you about the fact that he did fire james comey and wha

is moving quote unquote in the right direction while he was instrumental in closing the balkans with that's the path that a lot of migrants took through eastern europe and he's actually being considered as a mediator with the eastern european countries that are refusing to take in any more asylum seekers is he the right man for that job. well certainly he stands in the middle when it comes to migration policy and that's very much what he's referring to when he talks about other countries moving in the right direction as we have been reporting germany's christian democrats and america's party and the social democrats who may or may not enter into formal coalition negotiations soon to form a new government they have agreed on a basic paper that could be the god line for coalition to go she asians and in this paper they make reference to capping immigration now this is something that the chancellor is conservatives and especially her but very very conservative christian social union partners this is something they have long wanted it definitely represents a concession on the part of the

quote-unquote. despite the harm posed to low and moderate income communities around the country, h.r. 2954 would permanently raise the threshold for new hmda data for both mortgage loan-type data and lines of credit to 500 without a good understanding about the real impact of doing so. t this level, 85% or 5,400 depository institutions and 48% of nonbanks or 497 institutions would be exempt. that's 6,000 financial institutions that would no longer report important lending data. by prohibiting these important new data fields from being reported under home run, regulators would not be able to fully determine the extent of red lining, discrimination and other harmful practices. this would make it harder for fair lending violations to be detected. as hmda data routinely used by the department of justice to identify and remedy discrimination in lending, these new data fields are essential for shedding light on the kinds of discrimination like age that now flies under the radar. it's not surprising that o

have their fingerprints all over this and then we can talk about the entire history of the quote unquote russia da ca ok which is a whole different the need to go down go ahead daniel in washington i think the problem i kind of disagree on the attorney general sessions part ok he has not been effective he has not been a good leader and he has not done what it is unprecedented when you have a change of party you get rid of all of the institutional employees and you bring in your own people this has obama attorneys working all throughout this institution he brings rod rosenstein in and also you know recuses himself instead of proactively addressing the administration on this and. your special counsel investigation and in addition to that he's the white house is not known as a well run machine right now they do not have their act together internally and this is you can see it and state department d o d so many other places that really need white house direction but i find that turning general sessions is not doing his job effectively you mentioned a let me of things that he should be speaki

maybe the president who seems to relish a government shutdown as a way of, quote, shaking things up, unquote, regardless of who gets hurt. but members of congress should know better and republicans should get down to business and negotiate with democrats in good faith. republicans in the house and senate have brought us to the brink of a shutdown because they are terrified of the ideological extremextremists in their own py who reject even the most reasonable bipartisan compromises. they are terrified of a her cure yal -- mercurial president who changes his mind on a whim and who has repeatedly said that maybe we need a good government shutdown so he can get his vanity wall. donald trump and the republicans will be held responsible for any government shutdown. they've created the situation and the american people will hold them accountable. democrats have been open and transparent about the things that we're fighting for. we're fighting to reauthorize the children's health insurance program, chip, so that nine million kids across the country can continue to access the life-saving health care

chief operations officer says the university will not go back to, quote/unquote, normal for quite some time. even though all heat has been restored to residence hall. >>e year's worth of renovation. damage certainly in the tens of millions of dollars. >> i'm really baffled about how it happened in the first place in terms of the may want of the building. >> the university using insurance to cover most of the expenses "associated press" with the weather related damage. we will have more at 10:00 on newschannel8 and 11:00 on abc7 news. anna-lysa gayle, abc7 news. michelle: caught on video a woman wearing only a hospital gown abandoned outside the hospital by the security guards. today the city's mayor pew expressed outrage over the incident. the university of maryland medical center says it takes responsibility. it's investigating and isn't ruling owl firing the person or -- ruling out firing the person or persons involved. nancy: a story that broke tuesday. montgomery county officials rying to announce new tenants to the communications building. it will be vacant next year when discover

and demonstrations after the friday prayers organized by the government itself against the quote, unquote, sedition later on today. this is a brief-- no, i think you're right to highlight there are so many different slogans. there's also the question of is there any leadership this time. in 2009, of course, it was taking place in the context of elections, and the green movement had a very specific set of political leaders. it had an apartment apparent set of commands. i'd be curious what you make of the political context in which this is occurring. the reformants are in the government and they're part of the crackdown. they're not joining these protests. what do you make of that, suzanne? >> i think that's one of the key differences between what's happening today in iran and what happened in 2009 and there are a number of distinctions that are worth considering and exploring, but the lack of an obvious figurehead, the lack of an organization that is spearheading this, at least in so far as we actually know, that is quite distinct from both 2009 and prior periods of protests, the 1999 stud

, passing comment. >> a quote, unquote, passing comment. for those of you who may be trump supporters saying i don't care about cnn's reporting. he may have told his friends i don't trust you. eric erickson, a conservative writer, wrote this over the weekend. it's weird people in the room don't remember trump using that word when trump himself was calling friends to brag about it afterwards. i spoke to one of these friends. the president thought it would play well with the base. that gets to the point you made earlier, that the initial house reaction that manu said as well. if the president didn't say something close to this, the white house would have pushed back immediately. they didn't. they let two or three days pass and then they decided maybe this wasn't breaking the way we thought it would. >> it's about the petition charact -- president's character, it's also about the national character. does the president see this nation as an all-welcoming nation of immigrants? steven miller last year at one point argued that the statue of libert

is within range of our nuclear weapon and the nuclear button is always on the desk of my office, unquote. and that's a questionable claim in terms of north korea's actual nuclear capabilities. but regardless president trump took to twitter this evening writing, quote, north korean leader kim jong-un just stated the nuclear button is on his desk at all times. will someone from his depleted regime please inform him i too have a nuclear button but it is a much bigger and more powerful one than his, and my button works, unquote. the bellicose back and forth comes as the joint chairman of the chief of staff warns the u.s. is further quote with a war with north korea than ever before, adding, quote, he did not see this to resolve this diplomatically. president kennedy said every man, woman and child lives under a nuclear sword of damicallies, the weapons of war must be abolished before they abolish us. and president trump this evening is in a back and forth with kim jong-un about whose nuclear button ask bigger and whose is more powerful. it may be difficult for some of you at home to wrap you

and before comey was fired, sessions went to capitol hill looking for quote/unquote dirt on comey. >> repeat that. four days before comey was fired an aide of sessions'? >> yes. looking for dirt, quote/unquote, capitol hill, looking for negative information on james comey. >> do we know on whose behest? >> we don't. somebody working for sessions, whether he knew or directly -- but from the department of justice. >> and mcgahn, he was doing that according to reporting at order of president trump. >> correct. president wanted to be personally protected by attorney general with regard to the russia probe. this is about -- this is the clearest, most substantial reporting we have seen about what the president demanded and what he wanted of the attorney general with regard to this probe. >> maiggie haberman from the "nw york times" talking about reporting from herself and mostly michael schmitt. jeff toobin, kerry cad arrow. what is the significance of this jeff? >> potentially more evidence that the president was obstructing justice in connection with the comey investigation. here you have

and democrats are not going to go for the end of quote unquote chain migration or the end of the visa program. >> and julie, what's also crucial here is the president does understand the strategy here. he says this is good for republicans. and indeed it is. the republican party can't move forward without somehow doing better with hispanic vote and d.r.e.a.m.ers is a way to do that. >> that's absolutely true. and he's seen the polling saying overwhelming majorities in both parties have a lot of sympathy for this population and would like to see them gain citizenship. the problem though is, and this is what's ham strung the negotiations in the last few weeks over this, is he does have a large republican contingent on capitol hill who does not want to see these people gain citizenship in any scenario. they say well we are willing to deal with them and give them some legal status if we get all of the things that mark laid out that democrats will never go for including an end to what they call chain migration. all of this money for border security. way over and above what most democrats th

what do you think about the idea of assimilation, people coming here and assimilating into, quote unquote, american culture? >> i think that nobody has to sacrifice their past, their culture, in order to become american. i have nothing against white people. i have nothing against americans, but we also need to reflect what america means. and definitely embrace that our cultures are beautiful. we come here for a better life, to be ourselves. we shouldn't sacrifice our identity. >> people who come here don't speak the language or assimilate to the way things are done here. they should. it will benefit them in the long run. >> okay. >> but i think if you're coming to los angeles you should learn spanish. ♪ >> now that i talked to the people, i want to talk to the mayor. but since he wouldn't talk to me, i guess i'll just talk to somebody else at city hall. >> in this town, you're kind of a rock star. >> i'm meeting with l.a. city council member gil cedillo, known as one-bill gil for his successful work to get driver's licenses for undocumented people. latinos are the fastest growing demograp

will start quote/unquote falling in love with republicans and their president. we are about results. this may be the latest in the president's negotiating tactics as he prepares to enter in those kinds of discussions with democrats in this new year. so far, there does not appear to be any kind of deal at hand for the d.r.e.a.m.ers in this country. >> and hopefully we'll have more on the priorities and get a better sense of the plan of attack as we move forward in the new year from that white house press briefing at 2:00 this afternoon. jeremy diamond at the white house for us, thank you. >>> congress getting back to work as well this week. they have a lot to do. not a lot of time to do it. given it's a midterm election year that makes thing more complicated. divisions within just the republican party alone are raising questions about what they can get done on issues like health care, immigration, and safety net programs. before any of that happens, lawmakers have until the 19th of this month to approve a budget just to keep the government funded. joining us live

as don young himself has so characteristically put it, those that think that i might retire, quote-unquote, i will not do. he believes in this institution. he believes in the work he does. this on his 16,374 day in the house, we extension tend our congratulations to don, to ann. thank you for your service to alaska and thank you for your service to this country, don young. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from california seek recognition? ms. pelosi: mr. speaker, i rise to honor congressman don young. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman is recognized. ms. pelosi: i rise to join our distinguished speaker in honoring congressman don young who asends to the position of dean of the -- ascends to the position of dean of the u.s. house of representatives following nearly 45 years of proud service on behalf of the people of alaska. congressman young also holds the distinction of serving as the first dean of the house from the republican party in 80 years. congratulations. on behalf of the democratic caucus, let me extend my congratulations to don, to his wife, ann

so, you know, it is definitely moving in the, quote, unquote, right direction. the debate about who gets credit for it. but you do start to feel as though the current president is starting to get more of the credit. i'm sure he thinks he probably deserves more than he's getting. but you feel that way he's starting to get more credit than he was? >> i think he's getting the credit he has deserved most of the time. and i tell you what, connell. i think the change in those numbers corresponds with this big passage of the tax plan. because that really was the big promise coming into last year that was taking so long. and remember, this thing was supposed to be done last april. then it was july. and then august. and thanksgiving. we finally knocked it in by day. so, listen, the fact that something got done and hopefully we can start working together before the midterms on infrastructure and things like that and maybe health care, we can obviously get to these final, say, resolutions that were promised along the campaign trail, and you will see those numbers accuratel

is watching, unquote. i want to get right to "l.a." reporter who is in the iranian capital of tehran. ramin, tell us what are are the conditions like on the ground right there? >> reporter: in tehran, it's tense. and unpredictable. we are still don't know what will happen in the coming days, but we have to wait until friday when the friday prayers, congregational friday prayers. and then we can see it will fizzle out or spread. to other parts of the cities or will -- the middle class and urban areas. >> how did the protests start? >> out of the blue. actually, let's say when i was in front of tehran university campus, i saw 30 girls and boys young students shouting and they were saying that hardliners, reformists, the time is over for you. so they just tried to be anti-establishment from the very beginning and then say 200 -- around 200 young people under 25 mostly just took to the streets near the square, revolutionary square, and they shouted against the establishment, but i think it was just venting frustration for unemployment and

prior to 1965 and the kennedy quote/unquote reforms, there were members coming from other parts of thed. immigration restrictions were much greater than they have been. but above and beyond that, right now we're talking about illegal immigration plus legal immigration and trying to come up with a comprehensive plan that can satisfy all corners. i don't think i would be going back to earlier in the 20th century to put forth a plan. it was much more restrictive in many ways. >> even though family reunification or chain migration was used then, you think it is not actually apples to apples, even if it was more restrictive? >> i don't think so. i don't think so. here is the problem, when you have illegal immigrants coming and you grant them de facto amnesty and the ability then to sponsor someone for a green card, that is amnesty. it is not like you're saying someone came here, went through the process legally and then sponsored their parent or a spouse or something like that, we're talking about granting some form of undocumented legal status to 1.8 million people and the president's prop

and the truth is had he been able to be quote/unquote commanding over a span of several days, right, and actually finish the job and sign the bipartisan deal, i suspect whatever your opinion of him in general, you would say that that deal itself would be good. you'd be crediting him, no? >> well, look. i think he is being completely unreasonable. and he is playing games right now. i mean, him basically showing as what's underneath his policy making agenda -- >> would you give him credit if he protected daca? >> well, i will give credit to everyone who is ready to provide a solution. >> right. >> what you saw is a bipartisan group of senators that put together a solution. and now he is going back to play games. so i think that the choice that we have right now, it's very clear. we want people to be very clear about where their position is at in terms of the comments the president made. >> and he doesn't need congress. if he just looked at all this mess and realized it was problematic and wanted to extend daca through executive power, he could do that. >> completely. and we know also t

trump admitted his words were, quote/unquote, tough but that isot the language used. democratic senator dick durbin of illinois was in the oval office for the meeting. >> the most disheartening thing to me is my belief that that was the first time words that hateful have been spoken in the oval office of the white house. i cannot imagine a moment where a president sunk to that depth. >> according to both durbin and nbc news sources president trump also said in that meeting, quote, why do we need more haitians? take them out, end quote. nbc news reached out to the six republican lawmakers at that meeting. one posted a statement but did not addss the alleged comments specifically. two are staying silent. senators tom cotton and david purdue say they do not recall the president's remarks. and senator lindsey graham reportedly confronted trump about the comments later saying, quote, i said my peace directly to the president. the president and race will be a top issue on nbc's "meet the press." join chuck todd and his guests tomorrow morning right here on nbc10. >>> and th

by and large, when we get to the 2018 election, i know the democrats are quote/unquote savoring that, but i think they're going to get routed in the 2018 election. the economy will be growing. the president is probably going to get something done on daca and possibly something done on health care. people will look to him and say i like the strategy. so that's the reason why i would say to somebody like steve bannon knock it off. the president has to work with senator mcconnell. he has to work with the speaker of the house ryan. we got to get along as a group. and whatever our differences are in our personalities, whether you like me or you dislike me, i'm playing on the president's team, so let's knock it off, let's work together. >> well what happened -- >> the '78 yankees did that. they were killing each other in the locker room but they won a ton of games and won the world series. >> e whwhat if he has tapes of sorts of people in the white house? >> what happens if they've got dozens of hours of tapes of people in the white house? >> maybe there will be more people that will have t
