Viewers in the United States and around the world. You are watching new day. Its tuesday, january 30th, 6 00 a. M. Here in washington, d. C. For our special coverage of tonights speech. So, here is our story line. President trump will deliver his first state of the Union Address this evening. He is expected to tout his tax cuts and the strength of the u. S. Economy while calling for bipartisan action on immigration and infrastructure. But a political fire storm is also consuming the nations capital. President trump and his allies, last night the House Intelligence Committee voted to release the muchdebated classified memo written by republicans alleging surveillance abuses by the fbi. The president is now a showdown with his own Justice Department over releasing that memo to the public. The efforts to counterthe russia investigation could not be more obvious. Republicans may be opening a probe into the department of justice. This comes as yet another top official overseeing the russia
Grieving migrant parents. Having children does not give you immunity from arrest and prosecution. Bringing children with you doesnt guarantee you wont get prosecute prosecuted. Let me tell you what i think about this immigration s the height of immorality. Its the height of insensitivity to separate children from their chains, to use children as hostages, to get your wall built in mexico and whatever else the president wants to extract in an immigration bill. Tuesday hes going to the hill. Leaders of National Civil Rights Organization will join us to be in washington to call for an end to this. If not, well lead a delegation of clergy to texas to make a clergy visit on these young people who are being used as a pingpong ball for an insensitive administrations immigration policy. Joining me now, republican political strategist noel nickpaul. You know, noel this is beyond a partisan issue. George bush, who you disagreed with, never separated parents from their children. The defense of th
Togeth together . Lashing out and digging in. And didnt the democrats shutdown the government over a bill they have no issues with. They opposed a bill they dont even oppose. Negotiating with this white house is like negotiating with jello. It is next to impossible. Hmm. All right. So let me start with what has been arguably the most interesting last couple of hours here, and we have chief White House Correspondent jim acosta standing by at the white house now in the Briefing Room, because surprise, there is a briefing coming up, and the president just tweeted. Tell me everything that you know. Oh, that is right. You might see some of the technical colleagues from this network and other networks moving around the Briefing Room frantically, because the last several minutes the white house has called an on camera briefing and this is with the legislator of aftfairs mark short, and the president s budget director, and so this is going to be an interesting experience, because it may happen
Persio and Washington News reporter for cbs america, catty kay and author of the playbook jake sherman. I want to get get to this capitol hill vote. But first, Jon Heilemann, raj shah, you always have to be very careful about what you say about anything in the white house. Because it changes in 15 seconds. But i, i dont know read a little bit about his background. I listened to about 15 seconds of it, and i said, oh, my god this this guy is being respectful for the most part to reporters. And handling in a professional way. And it almost sounded like a normal whouts. White house. Didnt get into backandforth fights. This is a job after all that has all the job security of being number three in al qaeda or a chelsea football coach. But that said, for one brief shining moment in time yesterday, both mika and i were very impressed by his ability to function up there in a very difficult job. Well, sure. Yes. I agree i thought i did fine yesterday. Were addressing his composure and his manne
Justice, the only way to set the record straight to make the transcript public. The founders of fusion gps warned in an oped last week that the dossier was being used for political purposes, writing, quote republicans have refused to release full transcripts of our firms testimony even as they selectively leak details from the far right. The transcripts released today by feinstein debunk the theory that the firm behind the dossier had a political agenda. In fa he said he was professionally obligated to do it. Like if youre a lawyer and you find out about a crime, in a lot of countries, you must reporter that.
