Another story later in the show because someone, rather Something Else is the smart speakers in the living room. The makers may want them listening to more and more but do you want to know if your kids are drawing on the wall, family dinners. Are you creeped out yet. I am. First our team is here in d. C. Across the country and around the world. Starting with jeff bennet at the white house. Jeff, were going to see the president in about 30 minutes this morning. The last time we saw hip publicly speaking down in florida. He was talking daca, still talking daca this morning. Whats the latest line from the white house . Reporter hey there, halle great to see you. Officials are echoing with the president. Democrats arent serious about the dhaka deal, even though the democrats point out he was the one that cancelled the daca program last fall and rejected their immigration proposals. Take a look at what Sarah Sanders said about this earlier today. The president made ultimate l offers on daca, he wanted to see something done and democrats refused to put something on the table. Reporter but as to what prompted all of this, i think its important to flag is couple of thing. First, the president im told spent the weekend at mara largo surrounded by old friends and allies. And people in the white house, like Stephen Miller that his base believers he is softening, giving in on immigration. Illegal immigration has always been a touch stone for this president. The promise of the border wall and attacking mexico and illegal immigrants, all of that fed the pop lynch of his campaign. Then there was that news segment of a caravan of roughly a thousand people from Central America traveling through mexico on their way to the u. S. Hopefully asking for asylum. Thats what persipitated the president s tweet storm. He says mexico has the power not to let these largecare vans of people entering the country. They must stop them at their northern border because their border walls work, not allow them to pass through our country ch which has no effective border laws. Everyone wants to get on to the daca band wagon. No longer works. Democrats wants hence no drugs or crime. He reflats the refugee crisis if Central America saying there that refugees want to get in on the act. Although to be clear, the daca policy sabsz applicants must have lived continuously in the u. S. In 2007 and entered the u. S. Before their 15th birthday. He is trying to accuse democrats for killing prospects of a daca deal because the president db want democrats to be able to turn it into a political weapon in the 2018 hid terms, halle. Jeff bennet there at the white house. Plenty to keep you business this morning, thank you much. I want to bring in our panel for the next 57 machines here. Sara westwood. Andsy lee ka pore. Guys there was a fact check on the spring. Reality versus a tweet storm. The president didnt seem to have all the facts at haptd wen he was doupg this tweet storm this morning over the weekend blaming democrats, that is not a new line. Is this their 2018 move for their strategy . I think conservators would make the argument that even thee these people coming into the country isnt eligible for daca, the point is amnesty laws would even sew President Trump is making it an attempt to engage the debate in a real way. Hes been moving the goal mopos for what he wants. At one point it was legal status for people who were eligible for daca. At the time of the only my bus he moved it back for the people currently enrolled in daca. And you have an interesting piece out too ks talking specifically about how the lack of a deal for dreamers could effect the balance of power on congress . Lets not forget the president was offered 25 billion for his wall in exchange for citizenship for the people who were eligible for daca. That doesnt include people who have come after 2012 or 2007. The president rejected that deal, his demand over and over again is steep cut to family base. That is one thing democrats wont abide. They caved on the wall, he had victory in hand. He could have gotten both, a daca deal, and he could have claimed the wall. Now were looking at 2018 elections where zlats are going to try to weaponize it. There are a number of raises where its going to matter, states like nevada and open seats in arrest. Its not just democrats thats going to weaponize this, it seems as republicans are try to point the finger as well. You had that with tom cole, a republican, out on this network talking about where he thought there was going with steve kornacki. Watch. I think the president s shown more sincerity on this issue. Hes saying no deal now. What does that mean now . Again, ive always been suspicious that democrats wanted a deal. Look, they love the immigration issue, they didnt like solving the problem very much. It seems like democrats could point to polls like this one showing 83 of americans do believe daca should be continued and it is obviously President Trump who decided to end the program. And trump has been saying he doesnt think the dreamers how old worry hes going to handle this with great heart. He himself has been on record that hee going to continue the program its just the countiesdown know if they want to include all this immigration. You heard jeff bennet repeat the wordscare van, that was the word. As you probably know that network was fox news talking about caravans. We have a shot in what was playing in machines before the president tweeted, as you can see about immigration, both sunday morning and this morning. The caravan of immigrants, Shaun Hannity was reportedly at maralargo this weekend. There is a feedback that something gets talked about on the media that the president watches and then it comes out of his mouth. The president is clearly conflicted on the issue of daca between his base which is hard line. They do not want leniency for people who broke the law. How ever which way you count the number of people they dont want that. Hes also conflicted on the other hand pause he knows daca has a popular issue. He reads the polls. When it comes down to it the closer we get to political season, he trenches, hes on twitter rampage this morning. Nafta. July 2015 trump, its his greatest hits on immigration. There was also one bashing the meed you, that was not surprise, cnbc and cnn. When hes talking about the feedback loop, apparently cnn has aired this a compilation of this opinion commentary that editors at sinclair, News Reporters at sinclair, news anchors at sinclair that has a hundred plus markets in the country were asked and told to read. Heres a little of that. But we are concerned about possible news stories in our country. So the president liked sinclair, he tweeted about this, he said their mott the fake news a lot of networks are. When your assaulted by the administration its a badge of honor. Do you think its worth watching here sarah . I think the president is weighing in on the tone and tender of a media station, obviously its not something weve seen from previous president s. Hes someone who cares deeply about how hes portrayed on the news. Hes going to jump in to defend an organization that had a tilt. Supportive. Right. I think, you know its only natural hes coming to the defense of a networks that covers him favorably. Well talk more about this in the show. I want to get to some other news happening in oklahoma. Thousands of teachers has converged on the state capital demanding better pay for all state employees. Hair yan that is there. Mariana i understand this is just sort of picked up scene in the last couple of minutes. This is set to start 10 00 eastern time. Give us some concepts of what led up to this. Reporter so, halle i want you to look at the scene behind me. Buses started arriving minutes ago. You have hundreds of teachers that have just started a picket line around the Capital Building here in oklahoma. Demanding not only higher wages but also 200 million in funding for their schools, funding they say has been cut in the past decade. You not only have teachers here you also have state competency.

We have teachers that dont have a classes room they travel from room to rule. We need funding for our students, our supplies and our class rooms. Outdated text books halle as you heard. Teachers having two and three jobs. Richard your case specifically, would you say you were inspired but wausau in virginia last month . I think inspired would be with too strong a word im optd misk. Our problems go deeper than teacher pay. I got 150 students and 50 text books. We have a building that was built for 1200 students and we have enrollment of 2200. Its not just teacher pay. I dont know what else West Virginia was fighting for but for us its stunndent funding a well. R. Reporter thank you so much richard and melissa. In West Virginia they held out for about 10 days and they reached sort of what they were asking for, 5 pay raise. Were seeing it in kentucky, arizona, people here, especially the Oklahoma Education Association saying they will continue to walk out until their disneyland are met. Halle. Mariana there in oklahoma city. Thank you well check back with you later in the show. We also want to talk about former v. A. David shulkin, continue detecting lies about his exit. Why it matters if he resigns versus got fired. Another member of the president s cabinet on shaky ground. Scott pruitt. A dead man walking. Captivating exteriors dynamic lighting elevated comfort powerfully efficient and one more thing the world comes with it you can go your own way. The 2019 Jeep Cherokee vof hundreds of families, hese hmost proud of the one the heads hes kept over his own. Brand vo get paid twice as fast with quickbooks smart invoicing. Quickbooks. Backing you. And i recently had hi, ia heart attack. It changed my life. But im a survivor. After my heart attack, my doctor prescribed brilinta. Its for people who have been hospitalized for a heart attack. Brilinta is taken with a lowdose aspirin. No more than 100 milligrams as it affects how well brilinta works. Brilinta helps keep platelets from sticking together and forming a clot. In a clinical study, brilinta worked better than plavix. Brilinta reduced the chance of having another heart attack. Or dying from one. Dont stop taking brilinta without talking to your doctor, since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, heart attack, stroke, and even death. Brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily, or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding. Dont take brilinta if you have bleeding, like stomach ulcers, a history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. Slow heart rhythm has been reported. Tell your doctor about bleeding new or unexpected shortness of breath any planned surgery, and all medicines you take. If you recently had a heart attack, ask your doctor if brilinta is right for you. My heart is worth brilinta. If you cant afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help.

Now you can get it, too. Welcome to the party. Were you fired or did you resign . There was no reason why i would resign. So why not just say you were fired . Well, i think thats the alternative to resignation. I received a phone call saying the president wanted to make a chang. Thats certainly his prerogative to do that. So, the tweet fired you . Yes. Well, that is the now former v. A. Secretary David Shulkin again denying the administrations claim that he resigned. Add that to the turmoil cabinet this morning with the rumor that scott pruitt is on thin ice. Hes under fire for report zli renting a 50 a night room in a capital condo. It was apparently linked to a lobbyist. First air blake joining me now. Aaron you are writing about specifically this prosecuuitt c situation and what you call swampy as specks to it right . There are a if you remember of red flags. This was ang arrangism in which scott pruitt stayed in this condo, he only paid for nights in which he actually stayed there. There was 20 nights out of ever month. And he got approval . Yes. The other aspect the condo was owned by the wife of a prominent energy lobbyist, someone who represents exxon mobil, liquid fie gas company. This is are people pruitt are accepting deals from. The terms of the agreement seem to be very favorable based upon the neighborhood in which he was staying. Example and yes and whats remarkable is somebody defended this to bloomberg being an air b enrique b type. Why does that matter . For one it seeps like he has a lease on it. The Washington Post did some checking, he paid 50 a night. The average cost for a room in d. C. Is 130. The price in this neighborhood for capitol hill is 130 a might for one room. What is the dpa saying . Theyre saying theres no value and nothing to see here. Heres the thing, add your headline to several others that have come out about scott pruitt. 105,000 on a flight. There are reasons the epa would come back and say, well these thing would be out of the norm. Can pruitt survive this . I think its going to be difficult. Time and again wen we have seen cabinet members, David Shulkin first came under scrutiny because of travel expenses. President trump as gotten dissatisfied quickly with the negative headlines and made the change. Theres also the flip of that, he digs in and refuses to make the change a lot of peep expect him to make. That was not the case with shul condition. I was in a Briefing Room asking questions about this when it was building up. Lets get to the question on shulkin, resigned versus fired. Hee making real clear he was fired by tweet. Theres no other way to interpret his comments. It involves the reform acts of 1998, dont turn the channel stay with us. The bottom line is, if somebody dies or resigns, okay, so the bottom half, dies, resigns or is otherwise unable to perform the if y funks and duty then the president can assign a replacement. Explain why this is important to this please of puzzle. Its all about the lining. Its not clear the president legally has the authority to do that if he was removed. The law says if a person dies or fails to carry out his duties the president has the right to bring in someone else. If is this another misstep by the white house . Well it seems bizarre theyre making this case. If he was resigned why not show the letter he submitted resigning. Pause shulkin is saying the letter doesnt exist. Right. Itll be easy for them to put this to rest. This is about politics and personnel. At its Core Foundation its about privatizing potentially the va, that is a really big deal. And there are questions about whether ron fee jackson can actually do that. Rosa right. Its not something President Trump has floated hummus and its not something thats popular among republicans but there has always been a level of conceptism about david shul cub. He was an Obama Administration hold over. There were people who wanted to see radical change or potentially more a political figure many that space. So, i do think that there was this mistrust between some of the other political appointees and shulkin that was never smoothed over. And Ronnie Jackson may have theyre trust and may not, aaron. If you look at some of the reports put out theyre not praising him. Theyre maybe paving a way for a change. I dont know, its conspicuous theyre not being more favorable. This is a nowin situation i think politically for the president or anybody whose in charge of the va. A massive bureaucracy, 360,000 employees with an important mission. Right now theres going to be a debate in the senate. The republicans doesnt toa to see about ronnie vaejackson. A lot of open questions there. Aaron blake thanks for the kick cameo on the show. After the the break President Trump set to speak at the warehouse. We expect that to happen maybe six minutes from now. Youre looking live at the esther egg roll.
