so i think if mitch mcconnell feels this strongly, perhaps he should be a little tougher on the president on things like buying influence from foreign governments and his entire relationship with putin. i find it remarkable he can be so harsh and so exacting on this absolute insane policy move that serves no one other than perhaps trump s ego. erdogan, syria, iran and write an op-ed that doesn t mention the president s name. a few polls that have come out on this and seems pretty strong opposition to trump s policy here on syria. watching the events over the last 24 hours, the news developments right now, how deeply do you think the american people because oftentimes you have that reality in politics, if it s happening overseas, it doesn t necessarily register. how is this one registering, do
absolutely inane policy move that really serves no one but trump s ego, erdogan, syria, iran and yet write an op-ed that doesn t mention the president s name. a few polls that have come out on this and seems pretty strong opposition to trump s policy here on syria. watching the events over the last 24 hours, the news developments right now, how deeply do you think the american people because oftentimes you have that reality in politics, if it s happening overseas, it doesn t necessarily rej str. how much do you think this registers, do you think? i m not exactly sure ow deep it s penetrating into the american psyche. they don t the history of syria and turkey, but what is sort of permeating in various communities they re seeing democrats and republicans say this is very bad idea and it
so in these meetings he s not looking for that. the rest of us were looking to get genuine answers. so you re saying he didn t take him on and that s because he could in other ways, but he s certainly not willing to call him out for, you know, his demeanor being insulting which, you know, you re saying was just the point of fact as to how he behaved. it s a hard thing here because, look, i ve been in politics a long time. i work with who i have to work with. yep. this is the president of the united states. frankly, i ve been insulted by many, many people throughout my life. it sort of comes with the territory. we ve got work to do and i m not going to focus that, and i do think that it is unfortunate that the president is as disrespectful to the speaker of the house as he is, but we have work to do, and answers to get. so we continue to pursue those for the rest of the meeting. so today the house approved a resolution opposing the president s decision to withdraw u.s. forces

this impeachment inquiry is sucking up a lot of the oxygen in washington. the business of the trump administration continues at a pace, including with a new policy move, one condemned by humanitarian groups around the country, a decision to restrict the number of refugees allowed into our country to 18,000. that is almost a four decade low. julia joins me now. not a shock, not a surprise. we ve known that this is probably coming but now it s official and there are a lot of people, activists and advocates who aren t happy. reporter: so to put this into context if you look back at the past decade, we ve had an average of about 85,000 of a refugee cap. now they are cutting it to 18,000. before trump came into office we were over 100,000 to try to take in more people fleeing the syrian civil war. so now people who are concerned about refugees, people in the international community and the united nations, they re all looking at this number as very
