it. you say you aren t, but you aren t voting with her to go the other way. i am not joining nancy pelosi for a plan of open border. i believe that as speaker, she should be coming to the table, which is what the american public want and negotiating a solution to close this border. the president will now have to go to court to establish that this is a national security. but i believe this is a dangerous precedent and i believe that we should not be cannibalizing our national security dollars for this. i think congress so to be clear, you don t want to this national emergency. i want them to sit down and get this border closed. that s not going to happen. so nancy pelosi has created this false choice of a national emergency or this amoral closing of the border. and the american public overwhelmingly want the border closed. it s part of our national sovereignty and it s something that we need to do. well, the american public don t want a wall.
saying he ll vote against the president s emergency declaration. senator thom tillis writing in an op-ed tonight that while he agrees with trump s vision for border security, quote, his national emergency declaration was not the right answer. now, this is after trump has warned republicans not to vote in favor of a resolution of disapproval. that vote is tomorrow. and by the way, it s going to pass in the house. they are going to go against the president. the question is, what will happen to the senate. and the president took that on, as he was getting onboard to go to hanoi, tweeting, quote, i hope our great republican senators don t get led down the path of weak and ineffective border security. without strong borders, we don t have a country and the voters are on board with us. don t fall into the trap. s clearly, this was on the president s mind as he boarded that plane. this is going to be a big vote for him tomorrow. that s right. it is a big vote for president trump, as he head
if you ask the republican party if you ask them if they want a barrier, they ll say yes. the wall has been politicized. but certainly, the american public don t believe that closing the border is amoral. and that s the gridlock we re in here, where nancy pelosi said it s immoral, the president s declaring a national emergency, the president s going to court, nancy pelosi is going to the house floor. i will not support an open border and i will not support so you think thom tillis is making the wrong decision? he s being very clear, he does agree with president trump s vision for border security, but he says the emergency declaration is not the answer and he s going to, you know, vote to disapprove on the senate side? that s his own personal choice. and my personal choice is that the resolution as written by nancy pelosi is asking this congress to declare that the national emergency is over. there s no national emergency. and i m certainly not going to do that. i think absolut
november of 2020. so it could but to them to decide. and harry, also, as dana and laura talk about other things that are going to come out, you don t know how many other grand juries are impanelled. you don t know what else is out there. we don t know what we don t know. we do know michael cohen is going to go this week. and sources close to him say the testimony is going to cause chills. in front of the american people, he s going to talk about maybe not russia, but everything else, donald trump. what he knows about donald trump. his dirty deeds as michael cohen has called them. how significant could michael cohen s testimony be to this? i think it could be very significant. this is someone who s very close to the president for many years, who has information according to the southern district that the president directed him to take actions that amounted to a crime, that michael cohen has pled guilty to. and his credibility will very much be under the microscope. he s a somewhat d
emily: the complexity of that relationship can t be overstated. i think many of the american public don t quite understand the level and the gravity of entrenchment that the saudis are in this country. they are the largest lobbying effort. there are so many, for example, law firms independent think tanks that are funded at least in small part of to a large part by the saudis. they have including a journalistic export. i do think that there is so much level of the relationship that the saudis have, which is why it s hard to just say cut it off or ended now. it s difficult. that reconciliation between the messaging and what they are doing, remember, it was just after the last in the desert that the prince held people in that very same hotel for quite a long time. you re absolutely right that the walk has not caught up with the talk yet. but it s too complicated to pass across a democracy. melissa: let me let you get back to that first point. we talked about how you want other
