dehumanizing and this is a choice by the current administration, they are choosing to not allow asylum seekers to go through the legal process. the house overnight committee will be hearing the into the government treatment of migrants, that will be happening wednesday, busy week in dc. heather: sure is, great to have you with us this morning, appreciate it. democrats talk on tough immigration but they have little legislative action to show for it, 2020 trump campaign senior adviser katrina pearson says for democrats illegal immigration was never about the people, it s all about power. so we ve always said that it s president trump against the world and every day we see that to be true more and more over time but hopefully the president will be able to move forward on this either through executive action or some other manner so, again, force this through the court system. it is common sense, country has right to know who is in it, this is not some weird twisted thing
investigation, it is a fishing expedition. they re trying to get people up there to make them look bad and make the president look bad. will you take his advice? i think he s spot-on. that recommendation to rebuff the committee s demands by any means is eerily similar to the fateful advice that former president richard nixon once relayed to aides embroiled in the watergate investigation. listen carefully right now to what nixon told his attorney general, john mitchell, back in 1973. i want you to stonewall it. the president s son now agrees that everybody should plead the fifth, yet the president himself has previously made clear that he thinks what he thinks of people who ever take the fifth. there are five people taking the fifth amendment. like you see on the mob, right? you see the mob takes the fifth.
house is encouraging people to do that, that you have everybody on that side of the issue saying, plead the fifth. that s a major problem. and it causes all that much more suspicion and a need for us to go in every possible way to get this documentation, to bring people to bring the the people in the white house and the other kind of affiliated characters in front of the committee to show the american people what s going on. and frankly, if they re not, if they re hiding that information, then that arouses that much more suspicion and we ve got to do whatever we can to uncover it. you re on oversight. explain something about the dress code on your committee. the right-wing republicans, the tea party types show up like they re working for cnbc in the morning. why do they show up with the white shirts on, they don t unbutton their collars or roll up their sleeves. they wear that dress code of the nba graduate. and they had nasty looks on their faces. they were really angry. what s
so i think republicans are probably going to need really hard evidence and bob mueller, as far as everyone can tell, is really going to be looking for that hard evidence. that s why we see the president saying, wow, i didn t know ag bill barr really liked mueller as much as he did. i didn t know they went back for a far. but it s because barr sees mueller and says, he s a credible person. he s someone who will take this job very seriously. and as a result, if mueller does find something, you can definitely bet he s going to have evidence to back it up. well, the trouble is for all of these republicans, if they look to the future, they must realize that donald trump is not likely to go to mt. rushmore. he s much more likely to go back to trump tower. and their question should be right now, do you want to go there with him? thank you very much, u.s. congresswoman, katie hill of the house overnight committee, thank, harry litman and yamiche alcindor of pbs. coming up, 48% of registere
going along with joe digenova, a wild conservative, and saying we re not going to give any documents. what is your committee going to do, led by jerry nadler, when people start saying, no, we re not giving you nothing? what are you going to do? so i m on overnight, which is led by chairman cummings, but you know, i think we re going to have we re going to have to pursue every measure that we have to conduct our constitutional obligation, which is overseeing the executive branch. so what would you do what would you do if a request for information from this family and its crowd didn t come through? they refused to respond? you re in overnight, they re on judiciary, but what s the difference? go ahead. if it s me, i m going to subpoena. and i think that s exactly the direction we re going to go. i think to me, the biggest thing is we have to show the american people listen, we all know, this is just from growing up, right, throughout our lifetime, the whole phrase of pleading
