does the president need to clean up this statement? last campaign, when he was approached by this, he did what is right? does the republican party risk looking like they like drup and will make it look right. they don t have to risk it. they are doing it. when president obama got frustrated, they howled and turned around and said, hey, you are not going to like it when a republican president acts. here we are. i think the dreamer legislation and trying to prevent deportation and people coming to the united states is
all right. a lot to wade through this morning. dan goldman, thanks very much. you never want to be approached at an airport by bob mueller. logan or otherwise. or nick. no. still ahead on morning joe, mitch mcconnell says he will block a bill to protect special counsel robert mueller. we will show you his reasoning even as other republicans are pushing for the legislation. for no other reason than to show this vehicle, this is completely gratuitous, but we had to show you there is a giant cow. 6 4 tall, weighs over a ton. he was too about i go to fit into the slaughter house so now he s hanging out with his friends. his size saved his life. morning joe is coming right back.

curious are the conversations about trying to attach this legislation to the end of the year spending bill still alive? is that still something that you re considering and do you think democrats would be willing to potentially hold up that bill over this legislation? well, kasie, we are not there yet and what i think the republican majority leader ought to do is simply allow us to have a vote and move forward. senator flake i will remind you has steadfastly refused to vote for any presidential nominee for a judicial post, either in the judiciary committee or on the floor until we get this vote. that gives us some leverage. i appreciate that. and the co-sponsors of the bill are still standing behind it. so i think there s time this week and next for us to consider this issue before we get to the end of year spending bill. i think it s a big mistake for president trump to be cheering on a possible government shutdown over $5 billion more for his wall. kasie, i m old enough to remember

mexicans were going to pay for this wall. we appropriated about $1.3 billion last year that hasn t been spent yet on extending the wall. there s about 700 miles of border wall already. like almost every democrat, i have voted for increased investments in border security, but to shut down the government of the united states when republicans control the senate and the house and the white house over a fight about border wall money when they haven t spent the money they ve already got seems to me pretty silly. i think we should resolve the mueller bill separately, get it taken up and passed and then work together to resolve our spending issues before the end of this before the current bill runs out december 7th. senator, at the risk of plunging a substantial portion of our audience into instant depression, i want to ask you about your effort to have this legislation to protect bob mueller once again trying to put it forward. my question is why? why would you do it when the
