katie, that we don t often hear. kennedy has faith in government! [laughter] kennedy: i think there are a few dwindling harris: your optimism! kennedy: a teeny tiny minority. harris: maybe they can get it moving. katie: some of these democrats are listening to those constituents, and saying, look, this is $5 billion of the $26 billion that he wanted for the entirety of the border. it s a very small portion of what he s asking for. let s not forget, this isn t just about the barrier or the wall or whatever you want to call it. the white house has also put billion dollars for new beds for ice s detention centers. they put more money on the table for medical care, humanitarian aid. those things have all been rejected by the white house . not by the white house, by democrats refused to negotiate with the white house. i just have to say, i agree with nancy pelosi. i think the state of the union
that could potentially be beneficial to the russian government. morgan: it s not beneficial to them, though. the oligarch see, would you say they were benefiting the oligarch, that s misinformation. he is remaining sanctioned. the whole point of this kennedy: kind of, though. he owns 45% of those three companies where they are lifting the sanctions. it s not like he is completely extricated from those companies. he knows, in the short term, that it may hurt a little bit. but in the long term you re either going to have added administration change in this country where everyone is going to forget. that s what somebody like i was banking on. the point is, the targeted sanctions these billionaires hold much more sway over putin because russia is having a very tough time economically. jon: let s not forget harris: excuse me, jon, i want to get katie s voice here on this. katie: i think you have to keep in mind that the treasury to permit has a reason for pulling the sanct
independent and republicans on the fence, or just old school commie haters like me. [laughter] harris: oh, my goodness gracious. and there is kennedy. morgan? morgan: there s a few things to note here. the russian oligarch, he is going to remain sanctioned. it has been characterized incorrectly by schumer saying we are lifting the sections on the russian oligarchs. at least with the treasury is proposing. that s not what s happening. what s actually happening is the treasurer negotiated he is a majority owner in the energy company. so the negotiation was the key sanction, while getting the energy company out from under the sink in. it s very arcane, but a thick it s important to note because i don t the goods accurate at all that senator schumer harris: is it right? morgan: from senator schumer? harris: i mean, is it right for them to do but they are doing in total? morgan: this is what treasury does. you try to keep strong sanctions. the goal on sanctions is to change
the house, and obviously that is senator chuck schumer, as i said moments ago. they are there ahead of this rally coming up, talking about trying to get the government to reopen. now you ve got nancy pelosi fully in a position where she is challenging the president, saying, let s push back. katie agrees and i prayed to get back to a written forum. but there s a political play there, as well. kennedy didn t necessarily agree with all of what you said. jon: i would be surprised that there is a political play, and there is. the disney there is not true to what she is saying so we need to consider that he can deliver a state of the union wherever he wants to predeliver in writing, whatever he wants to do. harris: do you think he will deliver it in? jon: [laughs] harris: listen to you! kennedy: he might live to eat his own state of the union pray that would be impressive. [laughs] harris: we have the leaders of the democratic house of the senate on the steps, at the capital, t
know what is in the mueller report. with the exception of very real national security concerns, i don t even believe there should be very much redaction. kennedy: that goes for everything, senator feinstein. here s what mr. barr said yesterday. watch. my objective end goal is to get as much as i can of the information to congress and the public. i m going to be talking to rod rosenstein and bob mueller. i m sure they have had discussions about this. there are probably existing thinking in the department as to how to handle this. i m going to get the integration out there consistent with these regulations, and to the extent i have discretion i will exercise that discretion to do that that. kennedy: also yesterday, mr. barr stressing he would allow robert mueller to continue his job and protect it from outside interference. watch. i believe it is vitally
