in congress. welcome congressman. thank you, alisyn. how do you hear the tweets that have come out in the past 48 hours where the tone seems to have shifted in terms of immigration. it s more of the same. every time mueller puts up the heat on him, he pivots to immigration. when he has another stormy day with stormy daniels, he pivots to immigration. this is a way of scapegoating a good part of the country, 800,000 dreamers. i think he goes back there you see this as a distraction rather than what has been suggested which is that over the weekend we know he dined and hung out with lots of fox news hosts. ann coulter has been on a bit of a tear about him disappointing the base, not building the wall. do you think it s a distraction or do you think he feels under siege from the base about this? i think both. i think he wants to throw red meat. it s like caligula at the coliseum throwing red meat to
post office is calling mutually benefici beneficial. you could be seeing an attack against jeff bezos who also owns the washington post which president trump often criticizes. time now for the five things to know for your new day. number one, a newly released classified memo details the skoeb of robert mueller s investigative mandate. rod rosenstein authorizing miller in part to investigate whether paul manafort colluded with the russians to interfere in the 2016 election. the president s shift back to ard ha line immigration stance sending a signal to his base of a renewed crackdown. he s tweeted ten times about immigration in the past 48 hours. a source says scott pruitt s jot is in jeopardy after reports he rented a room in washington from the family of a prominent
