the president is who he is, the president is, who are we?> and that's what -- >> everyone should speak to that. >> that was part of my monologue, i asked in the opening, what does that say about you? because we know what this president is, we know the history, the evidence is there. but then doubling down, the white house issuing a statement, or saying that they believe that the base is enjoying that, david? what do you think of that? >> i don't doubt that in the cold hard calculous of their politics, they believe this will resonate with the base, if you look online and social media, can you see in fact that there is that reaction. you heard john frederick articulate it a little bit earlier on your show here. but the thing is, and this is -- i'm beyond hoping that this will change. the president of the united states is the trustee of something much larger than their own political base. the president of the united states is the president of the entire country. and that's a role that donald trump simply is ill equipped to accept. he just won't

and i want to thank every one of you here who heard the american people, who broke gridlock, who gave them the most successful teamwork between a president and a congress in 30 years. [applause] this congress produced a budget that cut the deficit by half a trillion dollars, cut spending, and raised income taxes on only the wealthiest americans. this congress produced tax relief for millions of low-income workers to reward work over welfare. it produced nafta. it produced the brady bill, now the brady law. and thank you, jim brady, for being here, and god bless you, sir. [applause] this congress produced tax cuts to reduce the taxes of nine out of 10 small businesses who use the money to invest more and create more jobs. it produced more research and treatment for aids, more childhood immunizations, more support for women's health research, more affordable college loans for the middle class, a new national service program for those who want to give something back to their country and their communities for higher education, a dramatic increase in high-tech investments to move us from a

but it turns out that once he saw the program that the men who were called the radical republicans, who were always in the minority, but they had enough support from moderate republicans to try to put forth some of their programs. once he saw that they were not just going to end slavery, which he conceded would be a good thing, because he thought this would actually help poor whites, once he saw that they were going to do more than that to try to transform the south and make it elites a place for the in society but to make blacks voting members of society, enacting land reform, because he understood -- he actually introduced a homestead bill because he understood that landownership was incredibly important. but he thought it was important mainly for poor whites. land brought independence. land meant if you could have your own farm, and you could work, you were not going to be dependent upon other people. and that's what he wanted for poor whites. that's what put him in opposition with jefferson davis, who said what are you giving this land away to these people? have a famous family wher

another e—mailfrom stephen saying i had to assist the man who in his 30s who was not homeless who hadquite shocking stuff. thank you for coming on the programme gentleman. your views are welcome, particularly if you have a experience, we heard from a nurse and a probation officer this morning and a probation officer this morning and it all feeds into the conversation, thank you. still to come a body has been found in a garden in greater manchester after a woman walked into a police station and told officers she had killed and buried a man and number of years ago. we will get the latest from the scene. next this morning — do some of the things we think we know about depression need challenging? johann hari thinks so. he's a journalist and author and former columnist for the independent newspaper. he was diagnosed with depression as a teenager and was prescribed anti—depressants when he was 18 and continued to take the pills for the next 13 years. throughout that time he realised that he was still depressed. he's now written a book called lost connections — which explores the causes of

and to have congressman lewis, who was there, who was on the front lines, who's not talking about something he read, but something he's demonstrated through his own experience, that all of us, not just the congressional black caucus, but this entire house, should thank him for the service and for being a patriot and for what he has expressed. so i personally want to thank honorable john lewis for taking that opportunity just to educate us, because we all need education and we never too wise to think that we need someone to talk to us. speaking of education, another good colleague from the great state of texas, i know a little about that state, everything is big in that state and tell me and congresswoman jordan used to hold. she in her own right is doing. and i have watched her in the time she has been here, that is congresswoman jackson lee. i yield to her. . ms. jackson lee: congressman evans, i want to thank you for your mighty leadership. mr. evans: i want to ask the speaker, how much time do we ave? the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman has 36 minutes. mr. -- ms. jackson lee: for the

[applause] to -- to tyrants and victims, and secrets and lies. i want to say that i value the press morere than ever befefores we try to navigate these complicated times, which brings me to this. what i know for sure is that speaking your truth is the most powerful tool we all have. and i'm especially proud and inspired by all the women who have felt strong enough h and empopowered enough to speak up d share ththeir personal stories. each of u

can come in and who can come out so who can come into this country recommend a boycott of britain if you like you're certainly a salad you don't know exactly right it's the product of the home secretary to decide who can come into this country or not this country is a democratic country israel has the same rights as other democracy it may be the prerogative but it's losing you important supporters and i don't think these people particularly supported us in the first place let's take a man called david rothkopf who's a senior fellow at johns hopkins school of advanced international studies at juba lost three dozen of his relatives in the holocaust a few days ago he wrote bearing those whose opinions are uncomfortable for israel to hear and consider not only weakens the country but suggests that the reasons for my defenses of israel are collapsing collapsing. since the netanyahu administration has done more than ban critics it has turned supporters into at the says it's taken one large step in the direction of the liberal fog ocracy is favored by the likes of charm and stunt something

so who knew?the same thing that the aclu heard about it and when they could stop it that was unconstitutional that they make the county change their whole policy for that particular case. so now the bigger thing is not the made-up things that drivers license suspension. more than half of these violations relate to that but they use that for a variety of things and in some states if they have a driver's license they could lose it for something like that. whether or not that doesn't put people in jail but what it does do is it garnishes their wages and takes the tax refund and using bill collectors and in california they take for million drivers licenses. so they thought people but the differences you need your car. because you have to go to work or take the kids to the doctor then you are arrested again with another sentence. with a little more money and it goes on and on. >> so what is so important with this conversation is people are fighting back. there are similar people easily could name one d

>> mostly it was people who were standing up who ended up suffering minor injuries. i now know there were two colleagues who were taken off the train because they suffered some head trauma, maybe concussion. all of us on the train feel pretty blessed. we know it could have been a lot worse. yes, we did later find out that the driver of the truck apparently passed away, very sad. we still don't know exactly how that happened, but our thoughts and prayers are with their families and those who are recovering as well. >> what are you all planning on doing now? is the retreat going to go forward. what's next for this weekend? >> we do plan to continue. there's a lot of important lchb business to discuss. we're try to draft a compromise, so that's important. this is a tragic event. but we have to continue doing our work and we're thankful for many colleagues, including a lot of democrats who've been texting us and asking about us. a little reminder how fragile our lives are. >> what about the man who was lost in this accident? >> our hearts are with you. there has to be an

if you are a reader who follows blue, you will wa nt to reader who follows blue, you will want to knowe. what do you think it is about lou that makes us such a compelling character for your readers?” that makes us such a compelling character for your readers? i think she's every woman, the fact she is on the surface such an ordinary person makes a very easy for a wide variety of people to identify with, but she also has an inherent goodness. not necessarily a niceness, because she can be sharp. but there is no us narked to her and in an age of snarkiness, people find that refreshing. in this book she is transported to a newjob in new york, and she finds herself in a family, a slightly weird family, of course, because that's what stories are made of, and she is thrown into the social world of very rich new york life. of course, it squarely com pletely york life. of course, it squarely completely beyond her experience. pa rt completely beyond her experience. part of the joy of having a character you can revisit is to put them in an alien landscape. there's not much more alien than the fi

talk about who has who beat. republicans and democrats are locked in a standoff that has something not to do with the budget but with daca. which has to get done by march. they want it done now. someone like alex comey who used to be with marco rubio "new york times" today say part of the problem is the fracture between the president and his staff. you would know this intimately. tell me what's going on. is the president on the same page with his staff? >> yes. but more importantly the staff is on the same page with the president. he's the one who got elected. i can't think of anybody who is more explicit about their position on immigration. simply never changed for president trump. he wants that wall built. it's going to be, you heard his homeland security secretary, his former homeland secretary chief of staff now never changed from that but that's not what the continuing resolution is about. the president has not injected the wall into the continuing resolution. the president is not the one introducing immigra

who are -- who did. there's also $25 billion for enhanced security at the border. we are a nation, the president will talk about how a sovereign nation must have physical borders that we as a nation have spent billions of dollars over many decades helping other countries secure their borders and protect their sovereignty. and he believes and has successfully won on and is governing on enhancing security at the border. that includes the wall and other security measures. but that also -- i would say that is his red line. he's always made that very clear. but again, i think it's just a great symbol of how cooperation, discussion, can be had on the same issue with two very divergent priorities. i think if you look at the conversation in the past several months, if fat year, when the democrats talk about immigration, they basically have been talking about the dreamers, the daca recipients. this president put out a 70-point plan a few months ago, you can all go and read it. he talks about merit-based immigrati

then he named a couple of other authors who he knew who he said, oh, yeah, they'd like to do this too. and i said, but, you know, is it okay? yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. so i went around -- it was basically me saying the president says this is -- this is -- he likes this idea. and then everyone would say, oh, okay, great, sit down. talk. >> you said something to savannah guthrie on the "today" show. you said whatever it took to get this story. would people feel as if you misled them about your intentions with this book? >> let me put it in a different way. i tried to be inaub truce i've. my goal was to keep going until somebody said go away. >> right. but in the initial premise of the book were you overflattering or promising that this book would be more flattering than it turned out to be? >> i certainly was not more flattering than donald trump. have you ever seen donald trump's flattery? it's unbelievable. the first time that i came in, it was -- it was like, oh, my god, michael wolff, unbelievable. do you know this guy? he's the best. so i'm sure i returned a tip of the hat to donald

would who regard themselves as. semitics and or anti racists because that is sometimes just a label and under the surface boiling so how how would you want to do that what you do for example with the show at the school director who clearly didn't get what was going on in his school. yeah i think there has to be accountability this guy is still the director off the school and what can happen to him the worst can happen that he is transferred to another school then the people have to deal with that though there has to be a accountability and the schools and the teachers they have to be put pat and trained to deal with those problems and them not the moment and they just put their head in the sand and that's it let me briefly come back to our title and ask for all of you in one word if you look at the rest of europe the rest of the world how anti-semitic is germany because of the middling. i think it's not more and to. the rest of the on top of the bad enough. i think that's actually look the question the question is h

who went to german schools and who should have known some political rules and some self understandings of germans not only concerning and to so much to see but what is written in the very german constitution that nobody should be a privilege to be. neglected for his religious. for his religion or ethnic. background so the other story is refugees who have come here during the past two years for example from syria in syria there is a political problem with israel is until now. occupying the syrian golan heights so syrians have learned all their lives that israel is the enemy and that it should be fought against so this is the narrative that these young people come to germany with and this cannot be changed easily in some integration course this needs time and they have other problems when they come here because there's a lot of problems about integration and finding work in the language but what really really is a big problem for me is when people who grew up here and have went to german schools still have this entity it is the mythic but come and t. muslim n.t. against everything that i

of the community who have paid taxes, who work, who contribute to this economy and that we should take a look at those situations so that families are not broken up. we keep them together. we have an opportunity to let them contribute to enrich this country of ours. thank you for yourli ideas. >> i wouldde say you have solidified me. i've been a lifelong democrat since i've been able to vote. the fact that you were pushing for a daca program for 800,000 people, people that came here illegally, obtaining employment here, use resources here, went to school, and then do anything toward walls, world war i, vietnam, didn't do anything of these to come here and have a better life, which is fine. but thetr country they're comin from haven't evolved to the point they wouldn't need mass immigration. secondly, p do you push for criminal justice reform when you haveve millions of people who he pho felony convictions from 25 or 30 years ago? were you upset when the dominican republic kicked all the haitians out of the country? they've gotten a good deal coming here. they jumped the line. i had the

but who knows how they will vote. what do you say to people who say this is too generous an offer. >> the president ran and fixing this problem once and for all. if this proposal becomes law, we'll get a southern border wall. we'll stop the flow of illegal immigrants and the flow of illegal drugs. in exchange for that, giving a pathway to citizenship for people who came here as minors we think is a fair compromise. if chuck schumer and nancy pelosi don't agree, they will show they are not interested in fixing the problem. jesse: i think they would like to have the problem to campaign on. so the state of the union right around the corner. you realize the democrats are inviting the illegal aliens to be their guests. how do you feel about that? how does the white house feel about having illegal aliens watch the president of the united states deliver the state of the union. >> we would like it if citizens were given those seats, but we don't always get to make those calls. a lot about what we accomplished in the first yea

act, who opposed additional restrictions to abortion rights, wod who prosecuted the t klansmen who were responsible for the bombing of a church that murdered four young black women. [applause] on that same day, 418 white women voted. 34% of them voted for the former prosecutor, but 63% voted for a conservative, evangelical, antiabortion, pedophile. [booing] we can march every single year, but the best way to stop the right-wing policies coming out of the trump administration is to change the people who make the decisions. [applause] and women have the power to make that change. black women have consistently voted for candidates who support voting rights, women's rights, civil rights, the rise of lgbt people, workers rights. but we need all women as our partners. [applause] right after the presidential election last year, i sat down and had coffee with a friend. she was white. and she told me that she had voted for hillary clinton. but that her mother, her two sisters, and her sister-in-law had voted for donald trump. [booing] i asked her why. ? and she said, i didn't ask. so, for the ne

who was it? >> you have elements of people on television, on cable netwo networks, with a concerted effort to destroy, the hope, the underpinnings the trust that people have in the fbi. >> go ahead, willie and toss it to me. >> the republican senator from texas who was standing with trey gowdy. he gave a speech about the secret society and said i don't know if it's true. they're putting donald trump ahead of the good of the country. and for what? donald trump doesn't care about them. they get into a foxhole with a guy who will turn on them as soon as he gets a chance. >> he's going to leave washington, mika. and when he leaves washington, the music is going to stop and there are going to be a lot of fbi agents and a lot of conservatives, and there are going to be a lot of republican voters who are going to be staring at them and say wait -- you did what to defend donald trump? you claimed that a coup d'etat was being undertaken? and you based it on a joke in a text? and you let people believe for

one that admits people who are skilled. who want to work. who will contribute to our society. and who will love and respect our country. [applause] the fourth and final pillar protects the nuclear family night ending chain migration. [applause] pres. trump: under the current, broken system. a single immigrant can bring in unlimited numbers of distant relatives. under our plan we focus on the immediate family by eliminating sponsorships -- by limiting sponsorships to spouses and minor children. [applause] this vital reform is necessary not just for our economy, but for our security and the future of america. in recent weeks, to terrorist attacks in new york were a possible by the visa lottery and change migration. in the age of terrorism, these programs present risks we can -- nonow longer afford longer afford. it is time for reform. [applause] outdated immigration rules can finally bring our immigration system into the 21st century. [applause] pres. trump: these four pillars represent a down the middle compromise and one that will create a safe, modern, and lawful immigration

perceive israel as an enemy and if you talk about palestinians who are being occupied and who are being taken their rights from by this very state of israel it to criticize this this not must be possible by anyone in this and it's not so easy to say you know that anti israel or critic is equal to and to say what isn't is equal to until you know for me we have to by mixing up these things this makes it more fluid to look at this with if i have to i'm not honestly i'm perfectly should be fitted with a palestinian who says i lost my my grandparents lost their home and so on and and i can't be expected to like israel but when he says we're going to go back one day and this is going to be part of palestine with the with the flag and the jews you know who do you as they are going to be gone then i say may i just really sorry they say it all the time may i just interrupt here because i would like to come back to the culture of remembrance and ask you. after those december protests that we saw the pictures there were calls from a number of people for there to be mandatory visits to remembrance

who's buying these passports?y russians. and are they honest law—abiding ha rd—working russian citizens? what i can say is that the due diligence leaves much to be desired, in the sense that the european commission demanded a 12—month residency requirement, whereas these people are barely spending one—hour in malta. the passport trade brings so many millions of euros into government coffers that the prime minister travels the world flogging maltese citizenship. but daphne's murder has opened a can of worms, and many of those worms are at the heart of government. manuel delia is a blogger and investigative journalist. he hopes to carry on daphne's work. he's installed extra security in his home. the prime minister is the front man for the promotion and let's be clear, they are selling european passports. it's true it has an maltese coat of arms on the front. but this gives them freedom of movement, of themselves and of their capital throughout europe. it's republic day on malta. ties with britain, the old colonial

and if you broaden that out, there's about 900 foreign fighters who fought in syria who have already returned to libya. and about half of those are from north african countries. there's also a fairly significant saudi population. so right now you're looking at about 2,000 foreign terrorist fighters who have operational experience in syria and iraq who have already returned to north africa in those five countries that i mentioned. so specifically on algeria, generally as mentioned before, foreign fighter returnees to algeria is quite low. official numbers right now coming out of algeria are around 500. the academic total, the academic is around 1,100 with about 300 killed on the battlefield in syria and iraq and additional 200 algerian fighters in libya. that's compared to 7,000 algerians who fought in afghanistan. so actually, these are again relatively speaking quite low. in fact, algeria is one of the few countries that has reversed court when it comes to the trend in foreign fighters. most of the time what you see is consecutive conflict effort, consecutive effort of same facilita

is who.on't know who believes what, who thinks what until it plays out in someway, like a terrorist attack. terrorism is meant to create fear and anxiety. you know, in our faith tradition anxiety has to do with the greek word beautifully expresses a divided mind t means to be pulled in different directions. the whole idea is to create instability, to undermined the safety of a society, and to are pulled in different directions not knowing what to did. it's specific to the world in which we live. in new york, you know, if we have hope, and we live in faith, co everyday in fear. we're going to understand that it's part of life. it's where we are in conflict. it's as we fr progress as civilization, advances in technology take place. advances in economics and civil construct take place but human nature remains the same and that is always the biggest challenge. >>> so how do you impact those that not necessarily, they're not terrorism, they don't realize, and like what the young man said in new yo

we know who the president is. who are they? who are you, speaker ryan and mitch mcconnell, who you choose to be and what you choose to say about this reflects on you. i suppose the cynical explanation of it, might be the most charitable? >> it maybe a bit charitable because it is not a good answer. these are people making calculations based on whatever is driving them and whatever end goal it is. i am not going to justify for them or speak for them. the coverage for this president, we got a lot of heat for negative coverage against the president. the president is speaking for himself. the reporting is 100% solid. the fact that the president tweets 15 hours later that's not the language tahat's used, gues what, no one is going to believe that. they lost our trust. that's just a fact and anyone wants to come start to debate this and this is biassed, bring it on. your issue is with the president who's out spoken, he is what he is and now we can analyzed what got in here and what the fallout is and what the politics are and how peo

who are captive to big government. there's another goal, they want to separate donald trump from his base and break the spirit of the populist movement. they think they will because steve bannon has been sidelined and they think their moment has arrived. the president has to or may not loyal to his supporters and his agenda, the one he ran on, the one that won all that rave reviews and all those rallies where people stood in line in hours in the cold. he has to be willing to walk away from a bad deal just the way reagan walked away from a bad deal with the soviets at reykjavik. we all understand that governance is difficult and sometimes you have to get the best deal you can with the votes you were given. but i think kevin mccarthy who is not exactly an immigration hard-liner had it right when he cautioned the president yesterday during that meeting, he said you can't agree to a deal that compounds the problem. a deal that ends up attracting more illegals down the road. right now we have another surge happening at the

and we actually know who our people are in our community who pick up guns. we bring them in, and we give them these opportunities to have wrap-around services and a way out of the lifestyle that they've chosen for themselves. that's the first approach, the first leg. but it's also a very focused enforcement approach. so a very strong enforcement approach of those who pick up guns. >> that is a great milestone as you approach your second year in office. you also took the top job last year after a period of intense turmoil in oakland, including the resignations of three police chiefs in nine days amid sexual misconduct allegations involving dozens of officers and a teenage girl who went by the name of celeste. in an interview about the scandal. mayor libby schaaf had this to say. she likened the police department to a frat house. >> i have talked a lot this week about what i believe is a toxic, macho culture. and that's why it's important we not just look at our recruiting and screening practices, not just at who is becoming a police officer, but the culture o

but the question is, who watches mueller? and then who watches who watches mueller?could go on forever. >> let's talk, cevallos, about paul manafort's lawsuit against the justice department, alleging his charges have little to do with russia, that mueller was going outside of what he should have been investigating and that what he's being charged with was not inside the scope of mueller's investigation and what he was hired for. is there merit to what manafort is bringing up? >> i reviewed this complaint. and if you get past -- if he can stay in court, if he has standing to bring this case under the administrative procedure act, it is a creative and well-drafted argument. i think this is not to be dismissed out of hand. it could be dismissed procedurally, but as to the substance, the argument is essentially that mueller's power existed by virtue of that power that was given to him in so many words in the letter of appointment and that catch-all phrase of, and he can investigate just about anything else that he may see may not be within the bounds of the special couns

and i've talked to lots of people, some who agree with me, some who don't.d in the early stages, being tough with north korea and making them understand the capabilities that we have and putting pressure on them was correct. but we don't need to be doing a lot of bombastic statements from anybody. the president, senators, anybody else. look, we put some sanctions on that the united nations have put on, but i don't think they're enough, jake. i think there are other things that we can do and we ought to have a coalition of nations that we can agree with that start to put pressure on the finances of north korea, including finances that would effect chinese banks. putting a u.n. resolution together with china is not my definition of having a tough resolution. look, it's fine, but we need to take the second step. we need to keep the pressure. we need to ratchet it up. now, the name calling, i don't think gets us anywhere. now, there's now talk that the north koreans want to talk to south koreans. fine. if they want to talk to us, fine. but we shouldn't be giving

these are young people who were raised in the united states of america. these are young people who today are working. they are in school. they are in the military. this is the only home they have ever known. this is the only country that any of them, or many of them, can even remember. the idea of simply doing away with the legal status that they have, subjecting them to deportation, subjecting them to being taken away from their only country they have ever known and loved is literally beyond comprehension and unspeakable. in september, when trump initiated this process by rescinding obama's executive order on daca, he said to congress, the republican leadership in the house and senate, you fix it. get legislation done. well, there are people right now, senator durbin, senator graham, who are working on legislation. it doesn't go as far as i would like it to go, but on serious legislation in the house, you have the vast majority of democrats and many republicans who understand we cannot turn our backs on these young people. but that's not just what we fee

and finally to president breed, who knows -- probably the supervisor who knows my district the best onhe board of supervisors, she's in fact the only colleague who constantly asks me of the needs because she knows our residents there. i want to thank you for your support and for your support of a safe injection site. we also have to address substance abuse in our city as well. thank you for being here and i'm incredibly excited to double the expansion of the medical respite shelter here today.

it is hard to open letters from those who are dead. a soldier and pilot killed, he kept getting letters because of the time difference because that is heartbreaking. quintin at last letter written during three weeks on the front, his squadron on average a man was killed every day, real joy in the great adventure, engaged to a beautiful girl of high character, heartbreaking for her and his mother but they both said they would rather never come back never have gone. he had his crowded hour, died in the glory of the dawn. despite you roosevelt's bravado about war, the loss hit him almost as hard as it did mrs. roosevelt and he died almost of a broken heart just months later. before he passed away he could be seen at the stables at the oyster bay home with the horses quintin used to ride as a boy and he would sit there looking out and saying to himself the childhood nickname he had given him, quinty kwei. they received the axle of his plane which was on his plane at oyster bay blues not all the people i focus on in "my fellow soldiers: gen

the only person who has ever rooted for a shut down, frankly, is our president, who said our country could use a good shutdown. >> this is one of those deals where the president doesn't want to shut down, republicans don't want to shut down. the house passed a bill to prevent a shutdown, and it's solely up to senate democrats led by senator schumer who used to call this governmental chaos. >> i think if i had to say what the main hold up in all of this is the lack of willingness on the part of republicans in congress to support a domestic agenda increase as they support a military increase. >> and the president himself piling on this morning with an attack on democrats, tweeting, quote, government funding bill passed last night in the house of representatives now democrats are needed if it is to pass in the senate. but they want illegal immigration and weak borders. shutdown coming? we need more republicans in 2018. joining us for the latest on where things stand, jeff bennett is with us from the white house, and eric is with us from capitol hill. at the table "the new york times" po

office who had a lot of money and who were not idiots. he steamrolled them. the primaries were not close. he barely lost iowa and never looked back. a lot of why election day was a shock was because people thought that routine would not work to a .roader audience you could dominate the republican party with 50% of whoever these people are, but when the rubber hits the road -- but he didn't. there were no consequences to anything he said or did. now, there are still no .onsequences as did youne success win the presidency, he was successful. what he did was shocking. it is understandable in hindsight. it was remarkable. what he has done since has not worked out. it has not. win.eform was their first it is because it is the thing the republican party joins hands about most. so his style is not translated -- or it is and we will find out not,ard way -- but he is for someone who wants to be know how he looks at the piece of paper. if i looked out and said 32% of america approves of me and 70% thinks i should be investigated for this or 60% can

he wants to interfere and tell chris wray who he ought to have as deputy director, who he should fire and hire. if chris wray is who trump thinks he is, and i believe he is, i've known chris wray's reputation, impeccable. let him do his job, run the fbi as he sees fit, don't interfere. it not just hurts your own credibility, the white house's credibility, but the acts doing the day-to-day job of enforcing the law in courts across this country, if the public doesn't respect the fbi because of what the president is saying, it really makes it difficult for them to do their job. >> i appreciate it. when we come back, a washington watchdog group claims the six-figure payment to a porn star alleged to have had an affair with donald trump broke the law and is now asking a handful of federal agencies to investigate. their lawyer will join me next to explain. new year, new phones for the family. join t-mobile, and when you buy one of the latest samsung phones get a samsung galaxy s8 free. plus, unlimited family plans come with netflix included. so, you can watch all your netflix favorites on y

belittle the senator who confirmed the senator who used that vulgar language. either word, it's in the same spirit. none of that is worthy of the highest office in the land. none of that is worthy of america. ironically, we were talking about immigration, but none of that is worthy of america. none of that is worthy of the man that we honor today. so, here's how you honor dr. king, by speaking out for what you know is right because dr. king also said this. he said there comes a time when silence is betrayal. so, i want you to think about this. who is betraying you right now by not speaking out? by being silent? or by playing semantic games? that's not speaking out as well because it's not telling the truth. yes, you honor dr. king by speaking up, by fighting for liberty and justice for all. but never, ever stooping to hate. as you watch this broadcast, keep those words in mind and here we go. i want to bring in now gloria borger, our cnn chief political analyst and april ryan. happy dr. king day. thanks for coming in. gloria, when he signed the proclamation, he
