Even as his own candidacy gets panned. Peter doocy standing busy and keeping track of two dozen candidates. Peter bread to come up biden is up and bernie is down t the only democrats in double digits in President Trump is not treating either as threats today when he announced immigration plan to take more than one term to finish. We will get it approved immediately after the election when we take back the house, keep the senate and of course all of the presidency. Peter holding the white house will not be easy if the democratic nominee is joe biden, Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren up because all three lead the president had to head and just released fox news poll. Even though President Trumps Job Performance rays has risen to 46 , 38 say they definitely or probably would vote to reelect compared to 54 who would definitely or probably vote for someone else. But for months of primary to argue joe biden, the Progressive Change Committee said he is the worst foot forward in the general election. So new york bill de blasio thinks hes the better bet. Announcing to date in front of thousands of loud new yorkers who greeted de blasio with signs. But they were not supporters. We are hearing peter new yorkers not just protesting about laughing and tweeting. A businessman from fifth avenue who since relocated to the white house tweeted, the dems are getting another beauty to join the group. Bill de blasio nyc considered the worst mayor in the u. S. Supposedly be making an announcement for president today. He is a joke, but if you like high taxes and crime, he is your man. Nyc hates him. Next they blasio heads to iowa where caucuses schedule for february 3rd. One day after groundhog day. Which will be the six Year Anniversary of the mayor dropping and killing charlotte from staten island.

Its not like we are in first place. Im thrilled with the fact obviously running ahead of a lot of federal and a lot of attention and the organization growing strong with recruiting and finance. But that doesnt take away from the fact this is a long run. Peter be ten on President Trumps radar and the president doesnt think the mays personal life should be a facto. Great to see the fact you have the guy on the stage and its normal. I think it is absolutely fine, i do. Peter mayor pete in fourth place though democratic primary picking a new generation at the bottom of their list in priorities. The top of that list, picking someone that can be tromp, bret. Bret just to be clear the groundhog died after they blasio dropped at. Peter several days later he tried to hold the groundhog over his head and it sadly passed of internal injuries a couple days later. Bret wow, okay. The Iowa Caucuses monday after groundhog day. Peter, thank you highly anticipated speech the president is your revealed his plan on immigration, one that he says will be fair, modern and lawful. We brought you many details of that plan on special report. The plan also would require immigrants to learn english prior to being admitted to the United States. Critics say the immigration plan lacking concrete details and blueprint for how it will pass congress. Chief white house john roberts joins us with the official rollout of the president s proposal from the north lawn, good evening, john. John good evening and also a civics test before getting a green card. This was weeks in the making for the white house and met by duration from the democrats, but the president believes he has a winning formula how and to whom treasured u. S. Green cards are given. In what would be the first major old overhaul of illegal immigration system and 54 years, President Trump proposed a dramatic shift from a family based system to one that rewards education and skills. If adopted khmer plan will transform americaS Immigration system into the pride of the nation and the envy of the modern world. John currently 12 of green cards awarded on skills. 66 based on family ties. President trump wants to flip those numbers increasing employment and skills to 57 , reducing family 2 30 three. We disseminate against genius, we discriminate against brilliance. We wont anymore, once we get this passed, and we hope to get it passed as soon as possible. John democrats agree the Current System of illegal immigration is broken, but just the words meritbased come with they find offensive. It is really a condescending word and they say family is without merit. Are they saying people that come to the United States in the history of our country are without merit because they dont have an engineering degree . Neither Donald Trumps grandfather nor my father would be able to come to america under this proposal. John White House Council of economic advisors insist changing the system will puff up the economy. The current average income for Illegal Immigrants 43,000 a year. The average for highly skilled immigrants is three times that. Adjusting the percentages, they say, will raise average wage and 86,000 a year commitment boosting gdp and raising tax revenue. It is their interest and in their interest and their childrens interest to adopt a green card system that promotes a rising standard of living for all of our citizens. John the plan also includes enhancements to Border Security from upgrading ports of entry, building more wall, and speeding up the asylum claims. It does not address recipients or 11 Million People in the country illegally. The president supporters say to get a deal, he will have to go there. I talked to him this morning and he has come to realize to get a deal on immigration, you have to deal with illegal immigrant population guesswork programs and all of the stuff. John the president said he wants to get things passed as soon as possible but the white house is not making effort with bipartisan support. The immediate goal is to put together a proposal that republicans can rally around. Which really makes this look like 2020 Campaign Issue and offer legislation. Bret john, thank you. Critics and supporters making their voices heard after another state Legislature Passes a bill where restricting abortions. The move by missouri comes 24 hours after alabamas governor signed the nations strictest abortion law into law. Abortion bill into law. That alabama law sets up a supreme showdown that some political experts warn could backfire on supporters. John has the story. John by a vote of 2410 miseries Senate Passed a bill today to being in abortions after eight weeks of pregnancy. It awaits approval by the g. O. P. Led state house before going to republican governor mike person. My administration will execute the law that the Legislature Passes in this administration will not back down. The missouri bill making no exception for pregnancies for, similar to a bill alabamas republican kay ivey signed into law yesterday. Both the aclu and planned parenthood plan to sue to block the law before it takes effect in six months. The law supporters want to take the fight to increasingly conservative Supreme Court but that strategy may backfire the conservative tele evangelist robert sun. I think alabama has gone too far. They want to challenge roe vs. Wade. This is not the case we want to bring the Supreme Court because i think this one will lose. John Kevin Mccarthy also takes issue with the alabama law. I believe the most precious gift god gives us his life. I depend my prolife position for milo wohl political career. But i also believed in rate, or life of a mother was the exception. John on the other side of the aisle, congresswoman alexandria ocasiocortez tweeted to come of this law forces people to be pregnant against their own consent. It is horrifying. John with conservative Supreme Court, state legislatures a real opportunity to revisit 1973 roe v. Wade decision that has largely defined abortion rights for the past 46 years, but progressive see an opportunity to rally support among liberal base that does not want to see those rights taken away, bret.

He has turned his back on our allies, on our friends. We cannot conduct their Foreign Policy through tweet. Jennifer out of 23 declared candidates only congressman seth moulton and mayor Pete Buttigieg are military veterans who served in iraq and afghanistan. We have to ask ourselves whether this administration is capable of stating what the bar is before you even talk about sending u. S. Troops into conflict.

Jennifer joe biden who voted for iraq war the most experience in the situation room but raised eyebrows with his take on china. China is going to eat our lunch, come on, man.

Rejoin International Treaties that President Trump withdrew from an and the f it appears jos a war in iran, a war in iran in my view might be many times worse than the iraq war.

There was a moment, my son i believe was about four, where he actually asked me mommy whats wrong with your teeth . If i wouldve known that i was gonna be 50 times happier. I wouldve gone into aspen dental much sooner. It was a very life changing experience. And it felt like i was me again. Thats when i realized i hadnt been for three years.

And yes whenever youre ready to get started, we are too. Call now at 1800aspendental. Shaving has been difficult for me. I have very sensitive skin, and i get ingrowing hairs. Oh i love it.

And be better protected from mayhem. Like me. As president i will take on the wealthy. I will take on the big corporations. I will not rest until this government serves the working people. As mayor is the largest city in america, ive done just that. Im bill de blasio and im running for president. The worst mayor in the history of new york sis and without question the worst mayor in the United States is running for president. It will never happen. Im pretty good at predicting things like that. I would be very surprised to see him in there for a long period, but its just not going to happen. If you like high taxes and if you like crime, you can vote for him. But most people are not into that. So i wish them luck, but really, he would be better off to get back to new york city to do his job for the little time he has left. Good luck, do well. Bret [laughter] President Trump aboard air force one as landing in new york heading to a fundraiser. Tell me about the new york city mayor and the 2020 canada expanding the number there im at the New York Post taking its own take on the de blasio run for president. But it does add to the list of candidates and now come officially, at 23, there are actually more if you go way down the list. But we have polled in the latest poll at the top of the hour and there you see joe biden copy field. Really doubling. Bernie sanders in second place and you see Elizabeth Warren in third. In our latest poll and that is key because the next debate depends on polling, donors and a lot of things. Lets bring in the panel to talk about the race fox news analyst andrew napolitano, you may have heard of. Mollie hemingway and senior editors and chuckling for the Washington Post. Judge, you spend a lot of time in new york but what about this move de blasio and the president s reaction. Andrew the president is only slightly exaggerating with the seriousness in which anybody outside of de blasios inner circle would take his run for the presidency which is none. The city is corrupted and his administration is corrupt, inept and he doesnt have majority support amongst democrats in new york city after having been mayor for six years. So it is almost farcical to do this. Charlie has an interesting theory which we will let him explain why running without taking his thunder. But it has to do with corruption, no surprise. Chuck. Chuck before we get to that, you know, its often in the past, it seems like a good idea when new york city mayor runs for the president. I can think of the president giuliani and president john lindsay who were in that position. You know, i dont want the judge to speak too much, but i do think mayor de blasio may be playing an angle here. Which to keep his donor base active. It enables him to create interest and bill de blasios political future among the people in new york city to give money to politics, developers, and people like that. Because i really dont see that he has a great chance of winning this. But you never know. Thats what we said when donald trump declared. Bret has more and more candidates get in, 23, 24, whatever the thing stops, mollie, do you think that helps joe biden . Chuck i think it helps joe biden and people care a great deal who can beat donald trump. He seems to be in a different class with a lot of people. But america is just a great country where everyone can run for it no matter how unpopular. But this is a pool party for a well but now a crowded pool party where a little bit less fun. So i think they will start taking it more seriously. We are so, so far away from the actual first boat being cast. Bret seems like a crowded, wet park, with the slides and everything. Theres a lot of people. All right, Kamala Harris speaking about joe biden. Take a look at this. I dont have a great deal of respect for fibrous President Joe Biden but i disagree with him. 1994 crime though commit did contribute to mass incarcerati incarceration mass incarceration in our country. The first time we had a federal it funded the building of more prisons in the state. Bret you can already see the arguments. On the crime bill specifically. Chuck this is the deficiency of public life that spans 4550 years. So many things he has to defend. In 1994, that there was very popular. Promoted by democrats and the president who signed it was bill clinton. And it was perceived as a right thing to do at the time. We now look at it differently. That explanation, joe bid again as his behavior in the old days is contrasted with the needs of a president. Mollie it takes some goal for Kamala Harris to talk about incarceration and people dont like about her how she prosecuted people as ada. But she speaking to this other dispute with joe biden and announced he would have his headquarters in pennsylvania. There are two ways to get the nomination one is to rebuild the Obama Coalition and see if you can get that excitement that did not happen for hillary. And actually the other is to go back to late 20th Century Democratic Party politics where strong in the midwest with union voters and bluecollar voters. I think he is signaling he will try for that route which is stronger for him and the general. Bret lets put up the 2020 general vote democrats versus President Trump and the latest poll. In plus or minus three here. You see the breakdown of the candidates versus President Trump. And notice the interest, 2020 president ial vote, john biden versus donald trump is coming, chuck. There you see the breakdown. Now, people, they dont like polls this early. They just dont like them. It is a marker. But i will say in 2016, the polls under reported. People didnt say they supported donald trump. If you are a democrat and you look at that, do you say, this is great . Chuck donald trump now and like this time in 2015 is a known quantity. They are not a lot of people in america still trying to make up their mind about donald trump. So the fact that his number, aly as the judge was saying ought to be alarming to the trump reelection campaign. Because bret for approval is 46 on the flip side. Chuck the approval is going up but another number shows 46 of the public, im sorry 46 of the public were saying they will deftly vote for anybody but donald trump. So there is a hard pro trump, 3545 and a hard antitrump which although polls show a little bit larger. Mollie the flaws of point they looked nationwide when you have to win statebystate. You have a lot of states overwhelming opposition to trump. The question is when it comes down to two code candidates. Bret in which states, breaking down the president S Immigration plan in other news today. Our proposal is proamerican, proimmigrant and proworker. It is just common sense. We want immigrants coming in. We cherish the open door that we want to create for our country, but a big proportion of those immigrants must come in through merit and skill. What is really condescending word. They are saying family is without merit. Are they saying most of the people that come to the United States in the history of our country are without merit . As if they dont have an engineering degree . Bret Speaker Pelosi talking about the emigration plan. Back to the panel. Chuck an interesting take after the word merit, meritbased. Chuck well, you know, i can certainly see why she did that, but it does imply a lot of people as she said dont have engineering are not on the merit list and so on and so forth. But i think there is merit and the idea of having a system here that is more that of canada or australia. That was the idea that gears towards the real needs of labor market and so forth. As opposed to family education. We just do so much more in our country. What i think what we are seeing whatever it is mainly important trying to do politically, it is in response to some of the troubling poll numbers. Republicans, the president , trying to get a positive message of other than just fighting illegal immigration. They want to show what they are for and they want to organize Republican Party about a unified position that they can carry into 2020. The big . Is whether they can pull that off but that is the strategy. Bret judge. Andrew i agree with charlie and i dont think the president expects to get anywhere. Lets do it after we take back the senate and take back the house and retain the senate and retain the white house. The crowd went wild. I think this will gin up the base. But i think its dead on arrival. I hate to quote senator blumenthal, but it is true. My grandparents would not have gotten here. The president s grandparents would not have gotten here. Senator blumenthals parents would not have gotten here if this were the law at the time they came into the country. Mollie at the time that your grandparents came into the country, they were matching the skill set of the current population. So this bill or this idea is about matching the skill set or making sure the people who come in will be a benefit to recent immigrants and citizens of the United States. Chuck even low skilled people benefit because they take jobs and do jobs americans dont want to do. Mollie they drive down wages which hurts people at the lower end of the spectrum. The general idea is interesting to focus, chuck, move away from family migration where you can be like the greatgrandfather of your cousin twice removed and have a privileged entry point. It is sort of about who you know. Changing it into a system whether a somali refugee or indian doctor, you kind of understand the rules and you can meet them and come in and everybody applies by the same rules. Bret Washington Post story, and this is about iran, told Patrick Shanahan he does not want to go to war with iran. According to the several administration officials, the message intensifying american Pressure Campaign against government of iran may not escalate into open conflict. In other stories match that, the Washington Post worry about frustration with elements in his administration. You see this push and pull. Andrew a lot of people are relieved to hear the president sending that message out because this was starting to move like a train down the tracks with nobody really knowing where it got started.
