room there lawrence. you are not the only one who feels for these people. president trump has said these are incredible kids. i want to put like to put this in perspective. there are three really important points i want to make here tonight. first of all this gets underreported steven miller the author of the raise act which proposed cutting illegal immigration in half and everybody pretty much in politics said it was dead on arrival has no longer been accepted into the room. he has no longer been invited to the conversationsinconversationsgoi. that is more of a centrist position. second of all danger daca is in through the texas lawsuit through ken paxton interestingly enough has been reported as just a distraction from ken paxton s felony lafayette going on from securities fraud from when he was a state representative. martha: just to be clear what we are focused on we are talk about daca or cutting the number of legal immigrants who come into this country. exactly. martha: leg
basis, he wants even to close to the nomination. the country doesn t want division. we are second by how much divisiveness there already is. a country want someone to pull us together. i think frankly somebody like governor mccullough of virginia may be a more formidable candidate in 2,020 because he can occupy a more centrist position. i would love to run against eric holder. martha: let me ask you this before you go. you ll be on capitol hill tomorrow. who are you meeting with and what will you tell them? we are going to talk about how we handle moving toward 2018, what the lessons are from these four special elections, and laying out a meeting with the house public and congress, trying to lay out a positive strategy for job creation, modernizing government, getting to a better health system. the things that really matter to the american people. martha: very quickly, you said you think that cnn, the president should cancel relations basically with cnn and exclude them from th
popular vote by 3 million to perhaps the then forced his press secretary to lie about the crowd size. worst opponent, political opponent. the polls do impact him, mark halperin. low approval rating, historically low for a president. in a tough position right now where you would like to think that a president can have a comeback. if he can t figure out how to solve health care and tax reform in the next couple of weeks, he may see his major legislative efforts halted at the hands of his own party, not trying to work with the other party. then what does he do? margaret, here is what the president told but north korea. if it would be appropriate for me to meet with him, i would
past two years can you set that up? certainly. that made an impression on me. an extraordinary moment as well. meeting with the reporters from reuters, having conversation about his presidency. at one point he has a stack of the electoral maps of 2016 and hands them out to the reporters, something along the lines, isn t that beautiful? reinforcing the fact, i won. do you have these? have you seen these? right. what that reinforces is that he has flip flopping all over the place and never stood by any position. the comment he made about not standing by anything does apply more broadly to his political views. i think he sees that map as sal validation that that s okay. the american people agreed with the way i approached politics. that, to him, reinforces the idea that how he does things is okay. that doesn t make any sense. of course it makes no sense. that is what happened on a day in november when he lost the
angry that he saw what was happening with regard to the civil war and said there s no reason for this. people don t ask that question, but why was there the civil war? why could that one not have been worked out? doris, there s so much we could talk about there. of course, he s wrong factually, but, you know, people don t ask that question about the civil war? he s always been a bizarre interview. we know that as well as anybody. but the past douglas brinkley, who we will get to in a second here, was talking about the president s mental state. have we ever found ourselves in this position? i guess as an historian this one got me, that lincoln wasn t strong, that he didn t have a bigger heart than andrew jackson, that somehow lincoln
