Take a stand against 76 of what americans think is right. Several republicans and democrats including my first guest tonight, california senator harris spent the weekend making statements and tweeting strong opposition to President Trump ending daca. But in trumps mind, there was the looming headline that appears in breitbart today if the president did nothing about daca, and then, of course, there was the president himself. The candidate who campaigned on ending daca had only this to say when last asked about it on friday. Should d. R. E. A. M. Ers be worried . We love the dreamers. The president would delay a final big decision on daca for six months, an immigration hard
liner told the New York Times hes being pulled in a bunch of Different Directions and because he doesnt have any strong anchor or deep knowledge of the issue, he ends up sort of not knowing what to do. I think the fact that they did nothing to it suggests that they had no idea what to do. That was an assumption that
I want to start with garrett haake, you are in the center of the action. Weve been hearing from lawmakers. To my ears, i dont hear any break in this gridlock. Whats your take at this hour .

Hes been probably the sagelemost key negotiator. He sees some of the dynamics as potential something to be optimistic about, specifically this idea that the senate would be able to move forward sometime
optimism their close to turning a corner. The work will continue at least until tomorrow.

Exploring issues that affect leaders in the U. S. And around the globe. Today had as much to do with the president but now that you have people that the Justice Department indicts, like congressman Duncan Hunter adopting the president s rhetoric, the chief Law Enforcement general in this country felt like he had to push back.

I know that people get upset about tan suits. I think that looks nice on you. Now it is time for the last word they dont just get upset about it. Do you remember when this was a week long scandal when barack obama wore a t
