dana: a live look now at the whrous briefing room, where we are waiting to hear from press secretary sarah sanders amid reports the president s lawyers don t want him talking to robert mueller in the russia investigation. this white house has been very cooperative with the special counsel as well as the congressional investigation. we ve provided dozens of witnesses, as well as thousands of pages of documentation, as we continue to see, there s been no collusion. we want to stay focused on the agenda of the american people. dana: the author of andrew jackson and the miracle of new orleans. he is also the co-host of fox and friends and my good friend. so when the president said i d be happy to talk to mueller investigation, no problem here, my lawyers are going to have to sign off. now the lawyers are saying maybe not such a good idea. two of the three. ty cobb said, look, i m open to
what authorities are saying you need to know now. plus, washington s big to-do list. by meeting taking place this week at the whrous. what we can expect as a government shutdown looms. we clearly have to get a budget passed in january and make it long term. but there s so many other subjects. pensions, healthcare. i have been living in a hospital the last two weeks with my husband. i can t tell you how many people come to the room crying, scared to death. we have to do better. psoriasis does that. it was tough getting out there on stage. i wanted to be clear. i wanted it to last. so i kept on fighting. i found something that worked. and keeps on working. now? they see me. see me. see if cosentyx could make a difference for you- cosentyx is proven to help people with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. .find clear skin that can last. don t use if you re allergic to cosentyx.

that is part of the policing and zero tolerance that worked so well. basically if you say we are just going to go after the worst of the worst you create a contempt for the rule of law and you get more law breaking. in this case we ll get a heck of a lot more illegal immigration. i d rather have a coherent policy than an incoherent one. bill: thanks to both of you. decent debate. martha: good time to buy or refinance folks. take a look at the rate on the 30-year mortgage rate. this is a 30-year low for this. it s 3.94%. good time to buy or refinance if you can get the loan, right, bill. bill: yeah, you ve got to get that, that little thing, right? we are minutes away from a press conference live at the whrous. you will see it live here. president obama on the economy, his jobs bill, what also will he say to try to turn things around. we ll take there live top of the hour. martha: he ll get questions about this.
