Whose name is not up there . Rachel maddow. Thats okay. The Stormy Daniels of msnbc, apparently. Hey, wait apparently he is so afraid of you. Thats what it means if he hasnt attacked you. He is so afraid of you, he doesnt want people to know you exist. Thats how afraid he was. Also there was that shark week thing between us. Thats exactly right. Thank you, lawrence. Thank you, rachel. That worked. Got a little bit of a blush out of rachel. The news of the night is there is no white house. Have you realized that yet . There is no white house. Not since donald trump took the oath of office. There is no white house in the traditional journalistic sense that allowed journalists and headline writers to use phrases like the white house confirmed today that. X. Or the white house denied today that y. For that white house to exist, the white house that speaks for the president , that white house has to know what the president actually thinks, or what the president is actually going to do, or what the president actually did or what the president actually said. And there is only one person in the Trump White House who knows those things, and that the donald trump. And so when the White House Press secretary says the president has denied everything that Stormy Daniels has to say about him, the White House Press secretary is not telling the truth. The president has never denied a single word Stormy Daniels has ever said about him. All we have so far is the White House Press secretary claiming that the president denies it. We have never heard the president deny it. The president has never tweeted that he denies it. The White House Press secretary, as far as we know, has never even spoken to the president of the United States about Stormy Daniels. Have you sat down with the president to talk about Stormy Daniels . What has he told you that he wants us to know about this topic . As i just said and we have addressed on a number of times, the president has denied these allegations. I dont have anything else further to add on that front. That was today. Two days after Stormy Daniels got a bigger audience on 60 minutes than donald trump and his family got on 60 minutes after he won the election. The White House Press secretary was asked have you sat down with the president to talk about Stormy Daniels. And the White House Press secretary refused to answer that question. Thats a simple yes or no. Have you sat down with the president to talk about Stormy Daniels . Yes or no. We didnt get a yes or a no. We got nothing on that question. It was coupled with the question what has he told you that he wants us to know about this topic, and then Sarah Sanders says the president has denied these allegations. But she will not say that the president has actually denied it directly to her. And so we can safely assume that the White House Press secretary has not sat down with the president to talk about Stormy Daniels. And we can safely assume that the White House Press secretary has never heard the president deny what Stormy Daniels says about him. And no one in the White House Press corps should ever allow anyone in the White House Briefing room the say that the president has denied these allegations because he has not. Here is the same White House Press secretary talking about President Trump after he launched a twitter attack against msnbcs mika brzezinski. I think hes been very clear that when he gets attacked, he is going to hit back. I think the American People elected somebody who is tough, who is smart and who is a fighter. And thats donald trump. She is very proud that he hit back at mika brzezinski. Well, the people who voted for hitting back are having to wait longer than theyve ever had to wait before for donald trump to hit back, to hit back at Stormy Daniels or at Stormy Daniels lawyer, Michael Avenatti, who has been very effectively insulting the intelligence of donald trump and Donald Trumps lawyers. Here is Michael Avenatti last night on this program. That was a catastrophic mistake on their part. And the reason it is because and i dont want to get too far down in the weeds. But under the federal arbitration act, which is what the federal court is going to apply when determining whether to send the case to arbitration, we get expedited discovery relating to whether there was an actual agreement. And were we are entitled to a trial on that issue. So you get discovery you. Get donald trump under oath in a deposition discovery just on the matter of was there an agreement . Correct. Oh, boy. Okay. Thats a trap. That sounds like a trap to me. So we laid that trap. And they stepped right in the center of it. Right. That was me learning something on tv. It doesnt happen that off. But Michael Avenatti out the me a few things. Friday night on hardball, Michael Avenatti cold Chris Matthews that he was firing a warning shot, quote, to Michael Cohen and any other supporter of the president and to the president himself. A warning shot, Michael Avenatti says, right at the president himself. And all those trump voters who Sarah Sanders said voted for someone who is going to hit back are still waiting because donald trump is terrified of Michael Avenatti. And he is terrified of Stormy Daniels. Just terrified. Here is more from the White House Press briefing today. You also could him a counterpuncher many times. Why has he not punched back on this one . Look, i didnt say he punches back on every single topic. If he did, he would probably be addressing a lot of the stories that most of you write every single minl of every single day. He also has a country to run and he is doing a great job with that. Sometimes he chooses to specifically engage and punch back, and sometimes he doesnt. As i told rachel, the wall behind us here is a partial, partial list of the names the president of the United States has found the time to punch back at, as sarah sand worries put. Stormy daniels name is not there. Michael avenattis name is not there. The president certainly has the time to tweet attacks against both of them, but he now knows that if he publicly calls Stormy Daniels a liar, Michael Avenatti has a defamation lawsuit ready to go against the president of the United States. And Michael Avenatti will have yet another legal avenue for getting the president of the United States under oath in a legal deposition about what he really did with Stormy Daniels. But there is a way to make all of this go away. An easy way the make us all stop covering the Stormy Daniels story. Donald trump could simply drop the litigation he has brought against Stormy Daniels. He could drop the case. He could order Michael Cohen to just rip up the cafeteriaial agreement completely release Stormy Daniels from the agreement and then Stormy Daniels goes away, because after all, the confidentiality agreement prevents her from saying what she has already said twice. Once in an extensive interview in touch magnificent and once on 60 minutes. Donald trump and michael koby are now engaged in a pointless lawsuit to try to prevent Stormy Daniels from saying what she has already said on 60 minutes in a video that is now going to live forever. We will be allowed to replay that 60 minutes video forever. The Stormy Daniels 60 minutes interview will be seen by historians 100 years from now. Nothing can be done about that now. The federal Election Commission will move very close c slowly o the contribution Michael Cohen made in the last week of the president ial campaign by paying Stormy Daniels 130,000 to stay quiet about candidate donald trump. The only thing thats keeping this story alive on a daily basis now is that the president of the United States has taken legal action in federal court against Stormy Daniels to stop her from telling the story that she has already told. And that makes absolutely no sense. Any good lawyer would tell donald trump now to drop his case against Stormy Daniels. Unless, unless donald trump knows that Stormy Daniels still has something that she can reveal about him that is even more dangerous to him than what she has already said. Joining our discussion now, ron klain, the former chief of staff to Vice President s joe biden and al gore, former aide to president obama. Chief counsel to the Judiciary Committee and he was chief of staff to attorney general janet reno. And were joined by the host of the podcast am cuss. Ron, i just want to go to you on this legal matter i have raised. This is civil litigation. Anyone, any party to civil litigation could end it at any time by kind of going long with what the other side wants. It can just be stopped. If its bleeding you, if its more than you can stand, it makes utterly no sense for the president to continue with this litigation trying to silence Stormy Daniels now that she has already spoken, unless donald trump knows that shes got something much, much worse. Yeah, lawrence. I do think Michael Avenatti, as you said on your show, has laid some powerful legal traps for donald trump. But i also think you dont need to be like the legal Davy Crockett to trap donald trump. I think he is his own worst enemy here there are two possibilities, right . One is the one you mentioned, which is that Stormy Daniels has some things, some evidence, some proof that the president s trying to suppress. The second is that there are other women out there who we havent yet heard from who also signed ndas, who also were pressured by Michael Cohen in the Trump Organization not to tell their stories, and the trump lawsuit is an effort to fire a warning shot at them. But i absolutely agree that there is some unknown thing, some unknown person, some unknown piece of evidence that donald trump or Michael Cohen must be trying to suppress because their strategy makes absolutely zero, zero sense otherwise. Dahlia, i just wanted to stay with this for one round as a legal matter. Because i think a lot of the audience doesnt understand how this works in civil litigation. In criminal litigation, youre charged with a crime. Its not up to you how this thing goes. You can plead guilty. Thats your only way to shorten the process. But civil litigation is in effect, its two people who have both decided im going to fight this in court. Stormy daniels can drop out any time she wants. Donald trump can drop out any time he wants. Clearly there has been more damage done to donald trump in this case than to Stormy Daniels. There is no financial end of the road here for the trump litigation. I mean theyre saying we want to get 20 million from Stormy Daniels. She doesnt have it. The only thing you could ever get if youre successful is a sheriff in texas auctioning off her house some day with every tv camera in the world watching Stormy Daniels and her daughter become homeless. Thats not going to happen. There is nothing thats going to happen at the end of this road for donald trump that erases the 60 minutes interview which is already out there. And i think to boot, the cost to him. Cost to him. Goes so beyond. Youre right. The worst thing that happens to her is there is a huge financial cost. The worst thing that happens to donald trump is perjury trap, clinton. It is a whole mess of other women coming forward. And i thought one of the most interesting things that Michael Avenatti said to you yesterday was now weve amended our complaint. Yes. We now have the power. Were in it now, even if they walk away. So i think that it is so important that as the stakes go higher and higher for trump, theyre flat for Stormy Daniels. Nothing worse can happen than what we can imagine happening. And so, rod, i think we come back now to your point which i think is vital which is that Michael Avenatti has said first of all he said after 60 minutes, six more women came forward with confidential agreements. Now he is saying it is eight. He hasnt checked them out all. But people saying they have trump confidentiality agreements. They want the talk to Michael Avenatti about getting out of those or what they can do. That would be the other possible thing that donald trump is worried about is how many are out there. Is it 100 . This was boilerplate confidentiality agreement apparently that Michael Cohen had ready to go whenever they needed one. It is telling that right now donald trump has more lawyers working for him to suppress womens stories than he has working for him to defend him in the investigation of whether or not he colluded with russia on the 2016 election. That tells you a little bit about what thing he is worried about more. And so we dont really know whats yet to come. As you said, Michael Avenatti said hes heard from other women. We dent know how many there will be. We dont know how many trump signed up to the nondisclosure agreements. But i do think that is what is motiving the trump strategy here. It is a bit of trying to erect some kind of dam to prevent the dam from bursting. Every day this goes on, the water gets higher and higher and higher for President Trump. So dahlia, he does not have a criminal defense lawyer working for him tonight. While he is being investigated by a special prosecutor for obstruction of justice. But he does have a really great civil attorney harder in california who is representing him on this Stormy Daniels case. And when you look at the deploying of Legal Resources, hes got his best Legal Resources on the Stormy Daniels case as of tonight. Yeah. And we havent heard anything from his attorney on the Stormy Daniels case. He doesnt say a word. At the very least we can say we hear an awful lot from his lawyers on the mueller probe. So, again, we know how theyre allocating their attention. But i actually think, and this is so important, whenever trump gets mad about russia, he says its a witchhunt. Its not true. Its not true. I think he cant comprehend what he is on the hook for there. Here i think part of the reason he is not talking is he knows quite well what it is to pay a woman to lie. This is a case that he completely understands. And one of the things thats been said about the confidentiality agreement which Michael Avenatti brilliantly has made public by attaching it to his initial civil complaint it is has issues of paternity in there. And Michael Avenatti has said look, the paternity issue has nothing to do with Stormy Daniels. He wanted to clarify, yes, that was in the confidentiality agreement. But he thinks it was just boilerplate. So does that mean that paternity is a boilerplate issue in repeated trump confidentiality agreements with repeated women, and in how many of those confidentiality agreements was it actually an important issue . Yeah, i mean look. Its clear that in Michael Cohens office there must have been a big stack of these forms ready to go in bulk because this was some kind of boilerplate form that they had ready and that they signed Stormy Daniels up to on the eve of the 2016 election. And as you said, in some ways, the most serious legal issue here is how did Michael Cohen pay 130,000 to Stormy Daniels, which he completely implausibly contends he paid out of his own pocket as some kind of favor to trump and wasnt reimbursed, wasnt paid by the campaign. I know a lot of lawyers. Ive never seen a lawyer do that. And so they clearly were ramped up for this. They clearly expected multiple women to come forward. We dont really know how many. But this was not a one off here. Not one incident, or not even the two incidents of the two women we have seen on tv lately. They were prepared for many people to come forward with these kinds of claims. And dahlia, if paternity is a boilerplate in cafeteriaiate agreements with women he has had sex with, that would legally prevent the woman from making any reference to whether donald trump created any paternity issues, and also would prevent any reference to was donald trump in any way involved with or paid for an abortion for this woman. I think thats correct. I think the aim here is to cover the waterfront. And to stop any of that from coming out. I think, again, Michael Avenatti has done such a stupendous job of this Performance Art thereof is dvds and there is other stuff. And we might have something here. I think that part of what is so destabilizing about this is that he is playing Donald Trumps kind of truthiness game. We dont exactly know what is going on. But he is playing it better than donald trump. Well, donald trump surely knows if he has other confidentiality agreements with other women with who he had sex with where there really was a paternity issue and whether he was involved in an abortion or paid for an abortion. He would know. He has figured it out that that would be the Nuclear Revelation that could occur in any one of these cases. He must know that. I think he knows that. And i think he also knows the minute he is deposed, he cant go for two minutes without saying something that is factually untrue. I think that the Nuclear Option is going to be the minute he gets deposed. He is going to say something, even if it doesnt get to your abortion scenario. He is going to say something. If he gets deposed about the confidentiality agreement, he will be asked about paternity under oath by Michael Avenatti. Dahlia lithwick, ron klain, thank you both for joining us. Thank you. So, guess who is paying for wall now. Mexico refused to pay for it. Congress refused to pay for it. Donald trump has a new idea. The people he wants to pay for it are rich. Hint, thats pay uniforms. But also coming up, members of congress in both parties seem increasingly worried about Robert Muellers future. Well will be joined by two members of the House Intelligence Committee who are trying to protect Robert Muellers job. Applebees to go. Order online and get 10 off 30.

Super poligrip. Tonight republican senator tom till lotson to protect special prosecutor Robert Muellers job released a statement calling on President Trump to let Robert Muellers investigation proceed, quote, without impediment. The senator said, quote, the American People should have confidence in the department of justice ability to conduct independent investigations. We urge the president to allow the special counsel to continue his work without impediment which is in the best interests of the American People, the president and this investigation. Now nine senators on the Judiciary Committee have sent letters to highranking Justice Department officials saying we ask that you publicly commit to refuse any order or request whether expressed or implied to interfere in the special counsels investigation, including but not limited to firing mr. Mueller, cutting off fund organize resources, limiting staffing, or inhibiting his ability to follow the facts where they may lead and hold those accountable who may have broken the law. Joining us now Eric Swalwell from california and democratic congressman mike quigley from illinois. Theyre both members of the House Intelligence Committee. Congressman swalwell, youve been a federal prosecutor. What do you make of this attempt in the direct communication with highlevel Justice Department officials to preserve Robert Muellers job . Its critical right now, lawrence. Were at a period of the investigation where it looks like by the witnesses that bob mueller and his team continue to interview, that they are getting closer and closer to the president. And this is a very fragile time for the investigation in that the president has told the world, has telegraphed that he wants bob mueller gone. And he has allies in congress who seem to be okay with it. So the best thing that we can do right now is to cement bob muellers role legislatively there is legislation to do that on the senate and on the house side. We should all come together and say that this investigation is important. Not only to hold anyone criminally accountable for what happened in russian interabout interference, but to show the russians that we are united and that we will make sure that whether its a russian or an american, if you work to interfere in our election, you will be held accountable. And youre not going to allow further chaos to occur in our democracy. Congressman quigley, the republicans on your committee basically have shut down your committees investigation. The Mueller Investigation is always running in the background with more powers than any of the congressional committees have had, their subpoena powers, their ability to compel testimony. Now with your committee shut down, it seems to emphasize much more even clearly than ever before the importance of the Mueller Investigation. Absolutely. I think eric and i both signed discharge petitions in the last week asking that this legislation hit the floor to protect the Mueller Investigation. You know, where is leadership . Its clearly not going to come from chairman nunes or the republicans on the intel committee. It has to come from mr. Mccarthy. Its going to have to come from the speaker of the house. Theyre going to have to step up and put legislation on the floor. And not just issue a few stray statements that theyre concerned about this, or the investigation has to go on. Clearly this administration did everything it could to obtain power. And clearly right now theyre going to do anything they can to maintain that power. Congressman swalwell, the Judiciary Committee, we got nine democrats writing those letters. Its not that long ago that i can imagine in the senate if Something Like this happened, it would have been a bipartisan letter from the chairman and the Ranking Member or it would have been signed by all the members of the committee. But they do have thom tillis, at least. They do have one republican senator. And that seems to be a slightly different dynamic from what youve encountered in the house which seems purely partisan in the house. Thats right, lawrence. If right now what youre seeing in the house, it was a road, it would be the president speeding recklessly down it without a stop sign or a cop on the beat. Thats the environment that we are in. And, you know, i dont think the russians ever would have imagined in their wildest dreams that in addition to getting the preferred candidate this they wanted elected by helping donald trump, that they would also see in our congress a complete inability to tell the American People how we were so vulnerable, who was responsible, whether the government response was adequate, and to see any reforms be made to prevent it from happening again. And they have somehow achieved that. Thats why we have to unify. Its not to only hold donald trump and his team accountable if there are criminal violations, but also to show the russians that were unified and were going to put up a shield against any future efforts. Congressman quigley, what do you hear from your republican counterparts in the cloakroom when the microphones are not on about the possibility of the president firing the special prosecutor, especially with polls out now, recent polls showing the country overwhelmingly supports the special prosecutor finishing his job . I think my republican colleagues agree with the majority of American People. They want to protect the Mueller Investigation. They understand what it means to the rule of law. And, again, youre seeing a few stray statements. Some of them very strong. Unfortunately, some of those very strong statements come from the republicans who are leaving the house. So where is the profiles in courage at a time when this country needs it most . They can get out of this without totally offending their base by saying let the Justice Department do its work. But right now where is the house . Theyve shut down the investigation of what russia did, yet they continued to investigate their own government. That tells you where theyre at. Congressman mike quigley and congressman Eric Swalwell, thank you both for joining us. Really appreciate it. Thanks, lawrence. Thank you. Coming up, we have breaking news, which is actually breaking history. North korean dictator kim jongun made a secret visit to china, his first visit outside of north korea since taking power. And thats where he confirmed through the Chinese Government that he is willing to meet with President Trump. And trump voters are growing to love who trump wants to pay for the wall, as long as they are not in the military or related to anyone in the military or care about anyone in the military.

I smoked a pack and a half a day and i was able to quit with chantix. I never thought that i could quit, but i did. Along with support, Chantix Varenicline is proven to help people quit smoking. Without a doubt, chantix reduced my urge to smoke. When you try to quit smoking, with or without chantix, you may have nicotine withdrawal symptoms. Some people had changes in behavior or thinking, aggression, hostility, agitation, depressed mood, or suicidal thoughts or actions with chantix. Serious side effects may include seizures, new or worse heart or blood vessel problems, sleepwalking or allergic and skin reactions which can be lifethreatening. Stop chantix and get help right away if you have any of these. Tell your Healthcare Provider if youve had depression or other Mental Health problems. Decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. Use caution when driving or operating machinery. The most common side effect is nausea. My older smokerself would be so surprised. Ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. History was made today in beijing when the Chinese Government announced that north koreas dictator kim jongun had made a secret visit to beijing from sunday to wednesday. Kim jonguns trip was not publicly revealed until kim was on his way back to north korea, or perhaps even safely back in north korea. Kim traveled to china on this train, which reaches a top speed of only 37 Miles Per Hour because it is heavily armored to protect kim from an attack. It is the first time north koreas dictator has left north korea since he took power in 2011 when he was 27 years old. Kim does not leave north korea for two reasons. First, he is not welcome in most of the world. And second, he is in constant fear of a coup, which is more likely to occur if he leaves the country. The Chinese Government announced that kim is willing to have talks with the United States and hold a summit. This is the first confirmation that kim is willing to meet with President Trump since President Trump announced that he is willing to meet with kim. Tonight the white house released this statement. The Chinese Government contacted the white house earlier on tuesday to brief us on kim jonguns visit to beijing. The briefing included a personal message from president xi to President Trump, which has been conveyed to President Trump. The United States remains in close contact with our ally, south korea and japan. We see this development as further evidence that our campaign of maximum pressure is creating the appropriate atmosphere for dialogue with north korea. Negotiations over Nuclear Weapons with north korea will be at least as difficult as the obama administrations negotiations on the development of Nuclear Weapons with iran. The obama administrations Energy Secretary ernest moniz writing an oped in the boston globe today said with north korea, our strategy should be dont trust and verify, verify, vary fiechlt jo vary fiechlt joerif verify. Joining us ernest moniz. Thank you very much. Thank you. A real pleasure. I want to get your first reaction to the developments with north korea today. Well, frankly, i think that dialogue going on among the various parties, u. S. , north korea, south korea, china is very encouraging. I would add japan in that mix obviously. But weve been saying for some time that we cannot resolve the Nuclear Problem in north korea unless we address overall Regional Security issues. Because that in some sense is the basis of this nuclear program. Give the president a briefing of what hes in for in Nuclear Negotiations with north korea. Well, i think one of the issues, and you mentioned that oped that i just referred to, a certain parallel that certainly in the iran negotiations, its a situation where the International Community did not trust iran in terms of Nuclear Weapons. And so verification, intrusive verification was absolutely central to an agreement. There could not have been one without that. And i would say we achieved it. Now you go to north korea, if anything, there could be even less trust in north korea. Weve run that film before after all. And i might say that going back now a couple of decades, we have seen the results of not having a very strong verification regime. So my statement to the president is that denuclearization as some goal in the future, weve heard that before. What i think needs to be accomplished is to get an understanding that a serious negotiation between the u. S. And north korea and other regional powers can only go forward on the basis of having a very strong verification regime, one that has never been the case before in north korea. It wasnt the case in iran either for that matter. It is now. But for a closed society, that will be a very, very difficult negotiation. And iran is an open society compared to north korea. Yes, absolutely. In iran you were trying prevent the development of Nuclear Weapons. North korea has them. So what is the difference in that kind of negotiation with a country that already has them . Well, i think first of all, that supports the thrust that i already mentioned. I think in iran, centering on the Nuclear Negotiation made sense to prevent a nuclear weapon. Verifiably. I have to keep saying verifiably. Whereas in north korea they obviously have nuclear explosives. So number one, the Regional Security postures is what has to be discussed. But secondly, i think that we could end up with Something Like talk about a freeze, for example. No nuclear tests, maybe no longrange missile tests going on. Well, we know how to verify that. Thats easy. But we cant have time running forward while they might continue, for example, to develop more Nuclear Weapons material. That requires the kind of verification regime we have in iran. So thats the task at hand. And again, i think the iran deal provides a really good template for Going Forward on that. What kind of people does the president need on obtaining negotiating this . President obama, who was involved heavily himself, had secretary of state john kerry. He had you, Energy Secretary, a Nuclear Scientist yourself. He had a large Team Involved in this with heavy expertise. There is no secretary of state right now. There may not be a confirmed secretary of state by the time we get to this point with north korea. Well, i would distinguish what i presume to be discussions coming up between the president and the Korean Leader from negotiations. I think thats a different issue. And those negotiations certainly will take some time. I presume we will have a secretary of state at that time. However, we all know that its not only the top of the agency, you need depth. And thats where at the department of state and many other departments, we may not have yet all of those senior positions filled that we need. For example, at the department of state, the expert on korea left the department of state about two months ago. To my knowledge, that expertise has not been replaced. So i think the discussions are important. Frame future negotiations that includes the verification and other issues. And then get the Team Together as one goes into negotiations. I might add you mentioned the iran team, but here clearly the issues of the American Military posture in the in korea and the region of korea, japan will clearly be an important part of the negotiation. So secretary mattis certainly has to have a big role in this as well. What about your old department, the energy department, which is where the Technical Expertise residence for this. President obama had you. Former Marthas Vineyard mit professor, nuclear professor and President Trump has rick perry. Well, the key here is to understand, lawrence, that the department of energy was involved deeply in the negotiations long before i was personally involved. I was involved in the discussions, you know, in the Security Council and the like. But the real depth comes in the programs and in our national laboratories. Those teams of scientists and engineers were supporting the negotiators all the time. In the iran situation are they largely still in place . Yes. Most of them are in place. Many of them actually work in the national laboratories. Theyre not at the department of energy at all. Some are. And they are largely career people in place. So i think the Technical Support can be there. The question is how you organize it and bring forward the Team Approach that i dont mentioned to the negotiations. And there is some staffing up still needed. I would think so. Former secretary of energy, ernest moniz, thank you very much for joining us on this important and historic night it turns out. Thank you. Coming up, trump voters are going to love who donald trump wants to pay for the wall with mexico now. Its a big surprise. Does this map show the peninsula trail .

Mexico will pay for the wall believe me. And whose going to pay for the wall . Mexico mexico. 100 . 100 . In his first month in the white house, President Trump surrendered to the president of mexico on paying for the wall. And ever since, he has been trying to get congress to pay for the wall with the Republican Controlled Congress has refused to do. The budget just passed includes over a billion dollars for repairing and reinforcing current fencing and secondary fencing on the southern border. And it contains none of the 25 billion that donald trump says he needs to actually build the new wall. And now the president has a new idea. Now that mexico wont pay for the wall and Congress Wont pay for the wall, he wants the troops to pay for the wall. American troops. Maybe take it out of the meager pay raise that the American Military got in the budget bill. The Washington Post reports trump has suggested to defense secretary jim mattis and congressional leaders that the pentagon could fund the sprawling construction, citing a National Security risk. After floating a notion to several advisers last week, trump told House Speaker paul ryan that the military should pay for the wall. Ryan offered little reaction to the idea, according to the post. On sunday, President Trump tweeted because of the 700 716 billion gotten to rebuild our military, many jobs are created and our military is again rich. Building a great border wall with drugs, poison and enemy combatants pouring into our country is all about national defense. Build a wall through m, slamz point. And trump skel lars have interpreted that capital m attend of the tweet to mean military. So the president says military is rich again. Those are his words. Rich means having more money than you need. Rich means having a lot more money than you spend. The military just got a 2. 4 pay raise. And donald trump now thinks theyre rich. Rich enough to pay for the wall that mexico refuses to pay for. The times reports that at least 12 states say they would sue to block the Trump Administration from adding a question about citizenship to the 2020 census. California filed its lawsuit just hours after the Commerce Department announced the addition of that question about citizenship last night. When we come back, ron klain will detangle the mystery of the trump wall and whats going to happen on the census.

Even the census. The census sarah, what do you say to critics who argue this is a way to target immigrants, its going to be fewer resources for immigrant communities. Once again, i would argue that this has been practiced of the United States government, the purpose is to determine individuals that are here, its also helps to comply with the Voting Rights act. Without that information, its hard to make those determinations and that information needs to be gathered and had has been part of the United States census, every time weve had a census since 1965, with the one exception of the 010 census. Rod, i just i cant fathom what the staff work is involved that leads to a lie like that about the census which has not had the Citizenship Question since 1950. It would be easier to count every person in the country than to count the number of lies in that statement by Sarah Sanders. That question has not been in the census since 1950, that means there are multiple censuss that have not included it. Shes referring to a different project. The biggest lie is this has anything to do with enforcing the Voting Rights act at all. The idea that he wants to use this to enforce the Voting Rights act is about as realistic the idea he turns on the tv to see Kate Mckinnon play him on snl. The goal is to discourage immigrants from answering the census. To have them be underrepresented its definitely wrong, it may well be legal and a bunch of states are taking them to court to prove that. If they can if the census can get the basically the count down in places like california, places like new york, you could end up losing a member of congress or two from states like that . Thats right. I mean, i think california, new york, texas could be impacted. It isnt just representation, its federal dollars, its not just dollars to immigrants, its dollars to communities where immigrants live. Schools will be cut, hospitals will be cut. This will have a huge impact. The funniest thing is, republicans like to say they believe in strict construction of the constitution, our constitution, article one section two clause 3 says, there has to be an actual enewlieration of the people here in this country, all inhabitants, citizens and noncitizens. And what the republicans are doing flies in the face of that explicit constitutional provision. And they were very specific about what applies to citizens, what doesnt apply to citizens, that is something they were very conscious of. Very conscious in those days of there being an awful lot of people in the country who were not citizens, they knew what they were writing when they were writing that in the constitution.
