let's get the thoughts of william cohen, who served as the us secretary of defense during bill clinton's thank you forjoining me. how do you think that this decision will affect the peace process? well, i'm not sure there is a process any longer. i had been in favourfor years of having a two state solution, believing that the palestinians were entitled to have their own state with their own form of government and live side by side in peace with the israelis. that may have been a mirage. whatever it is, it is gone, in myjudgment, mirage. whatever it is, it is gone, in my judgment, because mirage. whatever it is, it is gone, in myjudgment, because central to a final solution for the status of jerusalem was whether or not the palestinians would have east jerusalem as their capital. that has been taken off the table now. at least, it appears to be, unless president trump has something in mind forjerusalem, and maybe he was only referring to westjerusalem. i think it will be difficult to walk back. i think we had put our hand on the scale for the israelis and not the scale for the israelis an

let's get to cnn political analyst april ryan, and william cohen, the author of "why wall street matters," and city offen moor, a former senior economic advisor for the trump campaign. hello to all of you. good evening. thanks so much for joining us. steve, to you first, it's a huge win for the trump administration, for this president. but how do you square that accomplishment with its lack of popularity among americans? >> well, with all due respect i think you buried the lead here. i mean the lead is we will pass something in the morning that is going to be really good for the economy. you're right, it's going to be very good for small business. it'll be good for american corporations. i started on this two years ago with donald trump, it's meant to create jobs to -- >> steve, i understand that, but before you pivot -- >> but that's what it's all about, though. >> that wasn't my question. that wasn't my question to you, and i know you're here. you're part of the administration. you advise them to spend, but my question is how do you square this with the lack of popularity among the ame

william cohen, karen, and lynn sweet for the chaicago sun time. let me ask you what happens to the daca, not something that was completed by the end of the legislative term. where do things stand? put the subject of this article into some context for snus. >> herefor us? >> dreamers are for children who come in the country no fault of their own. president gave them protective orders to be here put in place by formerly president obama. the democrats had hoped to make a safe haven by them possibly on the read to citizenship or permanent status a part of the final negotiations of the short-term bill to keep government open. they couldn't do that. right now when they come back in january with a little more leverage because they'll be one more democratic member in the senate and will be that much closer to 2018 midterms, they are hoping them to attach this provision to save the d.r.e.a.m.ers to something either piece of legislation likely not a stand alone piece to give them some protection, very much up in the air right now if a deal can be reached. >

let's get the thoughts of former us defense secretary william cohen, whojoins me now in the studio.ter, what did you take away from that? i did take away the notion that they are prepared to pull back the curtain to look at what russia has been doing. that is the case they should back away from trying to undermine the investigation. the president has come out, i give the president credit for raising that document, it is his now. he has two 0rna everything that is in that. what is interesting is that all of the items in that document, his conduct for the first year in office is contradictory to what is in that document. there is a mismatch between what has been taking place and what is no in the document. for example, respect for the rule of law, the president has done much to undermine the rule of law, attacking cie, the court system, fbi, attacking the investigation and are we seeing it as a witchhunt. there isa we seeing it as a witchhunt. there is a disconnect between what is being said and what is being done. hopefully the president will most up to match some of the rhetoric wit
