on the other hand, i m happy to be a private citizen, coming on your show, writing op-eds. i have a book coming out in april, apparently it s a longer process than i anticipated. i ve enjoyed all of that. he s doing great without me. if he needed me to help, i would. there was a political article that was an attempt to re-raise allegations from my 30-year-old divorce, there was never any contact between me and the white house. there was no job offer, there was no discussion. i was there in october, they said i was there recently. i went and had lunch with a friend of mine. the article was just i don t want to use that two-word phrase that gets used so often, but i think it was a cheap shot. a cheap shot. all right. heads up, white house landscaper, andy puzder wants to show up to mow the lawn, you re screwed, buddy. andy, thank you so much for joining me, i appreciate it. always a pleasure, stephanie. the dow is up after a record day after. it broke through the 26,000
correspondent kristen wielker. luke, time has not been set but aides will expect there will be a vote this evening. what else can you tell me. reporter: it s going to start in the senate and the reason it s going to start over there is because the idea is they want to move something over to the house that has a lot of republican support as kelly o donnell mentioned in your report. this gives the house a little cover. expect the senate to vote between 5:00 and 8:00 tonight, could be earlier or later but that s the dinner time window on the east coast. the house will follow afterwards. they have a meeting at 3:00 p.m. and it s expected the leadership will tell their conference what exactly is in the senate deal. this is the way they are going to move forward. there s going to be anger from house republicans and house conservatives specifically within that conference meeting. but from where we stand right now, we don t expect them to try to amend it or hold the deal up any longer beca
hence why you re seeing it being expedited today. it s a fascinating development and a lot of gop leadership aides were la meanting the fact they don t know what this means to the future majority anymore and unable to come together for anything, what will that mean for future negotiations leverage on a whole bevvy of issues within the next year before the mid-terms. and one of those things, kristen, the president recently remarked again on his desire to get comprehensive immigration reform. the laundry list of things that could certainly have been taken care of or given more attention held up as a result. but what is the latest reaction from the white house. the president has said many times you cannot govern by kicking the can but that is what s happening here. you re right. this essentially does kick the can down the road. having said that, the white house applauding the deal. the white house saying it is consistent with the principles that president obama laid out,
capitol hill said there was a lot he couldn t talk about, based on conversations with sources close to steve bannon, he wouldn t answer questions put to him. kristen, what gives him the right to say i can t talk about it? to say that the white house commanded him not to, what law is there, what rule? if you get sat down by the house intel committee, you have to answer questions. reporter: the white house is claiming executive privilege. that s essentially what bannon and his attorney cited yesterday, according to those in the room. and so they re saying that is specific to him being on capitol hill. obviously bannon infuriated the president after the quotes in that book, fire and fury, in which he accused the president s son of what he called treasonous behavior for meeting with a kremlin-linked attorney during the campaign, as well as jared
and the story everybody is talking about. it is about a date with comedian aziz ansari. and it sparked a massive debate across the country. does it damage the me too movement? we re going to begin this morning with the one and only steve bannon, possibly ready to tell all, or robert mueller wants him to. the former white house chief strategist reportedly ready to share what he knows to special counsel mueller in the russia investigation. and that is not all. bannon also faces two subpoenas one day after he told house investigators the white house instructed him to not answer questions related to his tenure as a top adviser to president trump. and you re in luck, i have an incredible team here to break all of it down, starting with my friend kristen wielker, live at the white house. kristen, you and your team have exclusive info about steve bannon. reporter: that s right, steph. according to a source familiar with the matter, last tuesday fbi agents went to the home of
