Leadership in this country, but where the hell is the leadership in honduras, guatemala and el salvador. Where are those president s . We begin today right there, a big bipartisan revolt against the Trump White House just as the president prepares to make a rare visit to capitol hill. Lawmakers across the spectrum cant escape the words and the images of children separated from their parents at the nations southern border. The government tells us that since midapril, more than 2,000 children have been separated from their parents or guardians. It is part of what the white house calls its new zero tolerance policy. And the president s morning tweets are again defiant, stoking a fight most of his party doesnt want. The president keeps blaming the democrats, but this is his policy. Mr. President , you should fix it. But if you dont want to change this cruel policy, at least admit that it is your decision. Blaming others falsely is cheap, easy and dishonest. A cheap way out. The president a
True. Senator Kamala Harris wants you to read her new book. You think, what would mommy think . What would she think about all this . I think she would say, what is going on down there . It is a hot mess. And Kamala Harris can fix it . I was raised that you dont complain about a problem, you do something about it. A prime time spectacle and a test of the president. Speaker nancy pelosi and the Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer will then get the democratic response. The president is making a trip to the border on thursday. With bigger venues and a bigger audience, the president can sway support for the border wall his way. That is a very hard sell and the evidence will do little to change minds. 6 Million People oppose the wall, that number staggering since 2016. Even though the president has talked about criminals and terrorists overwhelming the border. Mike pompeo promising a lot of news tonight based on his meeting with an early draft of the speech. What can the president say th
Africanamerican women at a big conference in new orleans. And if youre castro, you work iowa and build support one group at a time. I just want to tell people i read your book. It is wonderful. Please go to a library, go to costco. Buy the book, whatever. We begin the hour with a big legal deadline today and an intriguing question it presents. How much is Robert Mueller ready to tell us . A midnight filing deadline for russias special counsel in what could be muellers last public act before he delivers his report to the justice department. Todays sentencing for manafort gives prosecutors a big opportunity. That opportunity is to put meat on the bones buried between other Court Filings and the chance to answer the biggest question. Was there collusion and did it reach into the heart of the Trump Campaign . The president with a morning twitter reminder, quote, no collusion, and the president says, the witch hunt must end. The collusion question, of course, central to muellers big investi
I just consider the source. What do you mean by that . My stock goes up every time he attacks me so what can i say. Lets not spend too much time on that because thats his victory. The diverter of attention in chief. Back to the speaker and that contentious conversation in a few moments, but we begin with a big afternoon in american politics, a competition of heavyweights in one of americas most competitive battleground states. President trump and joe biden will be on opposite ends of iowa today, and its guaranteed to be interesting. A big test of bidens strategy of focusing on the president and all but ignoring the other 22 candidates in the primary race and a big test of whether the president can stay focused on the economic message he wants to sell in iowa and elsewhere and not get too distracted by biden and above all else its a reminder that iowa may be a small prize when it comes to electoral votes but its one of the best laboratories of studying shifting politics and whether Pres
Democratic race. Joe biden and Bernie Sanders are in the race up until voting day. But some suggest someone younger. Im certainly young. Im the youngest candidate in the field. Every candidate brings a mix of experience and vision to the table. While its certainly true that wisdom can come with age, its not true that theyre the same. Just look at the current white house. We have the oldest president wii ever had, and by no means the wisest. A lot is breaking this monday. Were going straight to capitol hill where the House Intelligence Committee has just released the first transcripts from the impeachment inquiry. These transcripts are ambassador of ukraine Marie Yavonovitch. Phil, weve been waiting for the First Release of the transcripts and now we have it. Reporter the first two transcripts have been released.
