democrats are trying very much to try this, the john democrats are trying very much to try this, thejohn edwards type story who is the former democratic vice president who had his career ended because of a related indiscretion. this lady has also said that, because michael cohen has spoken publicly, any nondisclosure that she's signed is null and void, so she's signed is null and void, so she may come out and give more details as well. i think this story is inching closer and closer to the president, and whether‘s i couldn't possibly comment on whether it is true or not, but it seems there is enough happening in and around the story, enough people moving and talking that i think there is more legs in it and it seems that the stormy daniels character is time to find a way of speaking publicly on the record. she did speak before he was elected president. water, story, i'm sure. let's move on to the next story. it is about a ship that has crossed an outbreak —— crossed the arctic without an ice rake. the ship was able to make its way from south korea through to north russia and breakt

here to discuss, democratic congressman john yarmuth of kentucky. an early apology to break away when the market opens. congressman, on the immigration debate, it's day three of a week where there was supposed to be this open discussion of immigration in the senate. it hasn't even started yet. are you confident in the process over there? >> i'm not confident. as a matter of fact, i commuted with mitch mcconnell on monday and we were talking about it. mitch said he had no idea what was actually going to come out of it. it's a very, very important precedent to set. i think it's a good process and an open process. i think it will test both sides as to how much motivation there really is to solve this problem. i was on the gang of eight that dealt with immigration reform in 2013. i know there's a bipartisan solution out there because we actual reached one that never crossed the finish line. i think both sides negotiating in good faith can get it done. >> good faith is the key here. >> exactly. >> i believe you're mitch mcconnell's congressman among othe

john, the democrats have left the idea of governing and governance and they are in full resistance mode. really telling when clyburn said when he like reacted so negatively to the american dreams line. i can tell you my listeners today on the radio and they are not fans of david duke, thank you very much. they loved that because they think they have been neglected and someone is finally speaking for them. go ahead. >> yeah. i think the poll that you cited showed that americans understand trump was trying to reach out. and i think the democrats' reaction was really the proof that the henry wallace wing of the democratic party has now finally and conclusively try umpsd over the harry truman wing of the democratic party. they have pushed themselves so far to the left that it's hard to see how they are going to come back. there is no harry truman wing of the democratic party no more. there is no joe lieberman wing. it's really very similar what's happened in britain with jeremy corbyn and the labor party. this is a prescription for them to take themselves into political irrelevant rance. be

republican senator john mccain and democrat chris coons unveiled their plan today. it addresses democratic demands for a daca fix and republican calls for more border security. mccain tweeting just a few moments ago saying the bill, quote, can serve as an important starting point towards reaching a bipartisan immigration compromise so we can end the gridlock and move on to completing a budget agreement that fully funds the military. >> here's a catch, though. the white house is not happy about it. it offers dreamers who have been in the country since 2013 a path to citizenship. that would mean more than the 1.8 million immigrants that the president supports legalizing. that's what they don't like. while the bill bolsters border security with a $110 million grant for five years, it doesn't contain any funding for the president's proposed wall. >> and that is so important. across the board, people would agree with you, we need more border security. but a wall doesn't make sense. again, third century solution to a 21st century problem. it also does not address family b

chris coons, a democrat, john mccain obviously a republican, coming together to put forward even what senator coons says he understands would be just the base bill, possibly for the debate this is going to start next week. listen to what senator coons said about it this morning. >> it needs more border investment. it lays out a plan, a pathway toward securing control of the border by 2020, and i expect that in order for this to be embraced by republicans as the solution that will get us moving forward toward fully funding domestic and defense spending, we will need to add some border funding to it. >> so even he is admitting that it's far from perfect. i also, just as a side note, think it's interesting that john mccain, who hasn't been in washington yet this year, my understanding called chris coons last week and said, let's do this together in a bipartisan way. so he's working it on issues he cares about, which is a lot of issues, from home where he's getting treatment for cancer. >> it's fascinating. also remember that john mccain's position on immigration is different starkly from

>> john: i can only tell you that i've looked at it and when the democratic memo talks about intelligence assets that are well placed and give details to which i can figure out where that person works or where they're located in certain country, i think that country can figure it out as well. so those are the things that need to be edited out, that's what we talked about we talk about sources and methods. when judge napolitano was on with his, he said there was a short phrase in the g.o.p. memo, longtime fbi assets as we are talking about a person in that memo. is there a danger that is putting all this out in the public's life, that it changes the relationship that house until committee has with the fisa court? >> john: i think there is always good to have a tension between the branches when it comes to these issues. we are exercising that i think it's good for the people that we are not always working together but working to the extent that we are trying to highlight potential abuses and bring those into public view so that there is accountability. >> harris: i want to boil this down to

it's now on the president's desk, john. he has to decide whether or not he is going to release this democratic memo which provides a very different argument that he doesn't want people to see. >> let's take everyone at their word about wanting more transparency. there's no reason to believe the president is going to go out of his way to sign this. he doesn't want transparency. he wants that other narrative out there. but there's a catch here where he can't just indefinitely refuse it. the house intelligence committee voted unanimously to release it. >> he doesn't seem inclined to do what adam schiff is doing at the moment, david. he's picked this fight with adam schiff. adam schiff has returned fire. so, if the president does not release it, then it goes to the full house and then it could be released, if they choose to do it? >> well, again, i don't have confidence in anybody doing that. what they have done and the house speaker has done is open the door to such partisanship on this investigation, which has been there all

i gave you my answer. >> a moderate pro business democrat. john delaney, first guy in the field. up next, donald trump may add all his greatest hits today at cpac. he touted a plan to arp teachers, went after senator john mccain and even compared immigrants to snakes. he said they are snakes. that's one way to keep that base fat and happy. you're watching "hardball." it only takes a second for an everyday item to become dangerous. tide pods child-guard pac. helps keep your laundry pacs safe, and your child safer. to close, twist until it clicks. tide pods child-guard packaging. of being there for my son's winning shot. that was it for me. that's why i'm quitting with nicorette. only nicorette mini has a patented fast dissolving formula. it starts to relieve sudden cravings fast. every great why needs a great how. who's the new guy? they call him the whisperer. the whisperer? why do they call him the whisperer? he talks to planes. he talks to planes. watch this. hey watson, what's avionics telling you? maintenance records and performance data suggest replacing capacitor c4. not ba

we also heard yesterday that steny hoyer, a democrat in a private meeting with john kelly actually confronted him over it. but kelly is not backing down on that one. john. >> abby phillip at the white house. keep us posted what you hear from there. joining me spectrum news anchor errol louis, caitlin huey-burns and from the fix blog at "the washington post," amber phillips. i know it's odd to be so surprised when people in washington are doing their job, but the senate seems to be on the verge of doing something which is almost unheard of, a bipartisan deal. two years of funding. this is significant. >> it is an eternity in washington, since we've been operating on the month-to-month funding of government. yes this is the basic task of government, but it comes when lawmakers are facing a tough reality. they're in a midterm election year. nobody on either side wants to have to deal with these continuous fights over funding the government and all of the things that go along with it. if they're able to get this deal done, i think it is significant and can allow them to move on to things like imm

john kasich from ohio. and democrat john hickenlooper from colorado. two-term governors crisscrossing the yits talking about the ideas they share. jon karl spoke with them on friday. he began with the reflections on the school shooting in florida. >> we're at a point where we're allowing ourselves to be terrorized. by ourselves. if you want to weaken the country, what better way to do it than to make children afraid to go to schools. it's going to church. it's going to concerts. all the places we create community is being hit with our inability to do this. >> search your heart. this is not about political power. this is not about a campaign contribution. it's about how you want to look in the mirror. nobody wants to take everybody's guns away. nobody wants to repeal the second amendment. oh, a few people. this is about reasonable approaches to keep our communities safe. >> so i hear a lot of bipartisan agreement from you. when the two of you get together. i want to ask you something that you probably don't agree on. what is going to happen on the midte

the keating five are john mccain and democrats alan cranston, john glenn, donald riegle and dennis deconcini. they reportedly received a total of $1.3 million in donations. edwin gray says the senators tried to subvert the regulatory process. >> i was told to come alone. i did. >> did you find that unusual? >> absolutely. never happened before. the whole time i was in washington, i never saw that. >> no witnesses? >> no, no witnesses. deniability. perfectly built into the meeting. >> they said they wanted us to not take the enforcement action against lincoln savings. the only thing that got them to back off is when we finally said, we're making criminal referrals. you're going to bat for criminals. >> now awaiting trial on charges of criminal fraud, keating has refused to testify to the senate. >> was there something wrong with five senators meeting? yes, it's a bad appearance. but the real question is, did john mccain abuse his office? the evidence indicates clearly no. >> the keating five became a symbol of the '80s because it's a group of distinguished u.s. senators accused of taking brib

. >> republican senator john mccain, democrat chris coons are introducing a bipartisan plan, now it calls for a pathway citizenship for young immigrants in the daca program, mccain telling the wall street journal this, it's time we end the gridlock so we can quickly move onto completing a long-term budget agreement that provides our men and women in uniform the support they deserve while reaching a deal cannot come soon enough for america's service members, the current political reality demands bipartisan cooperation to address the impending expiration of the daca program and secure the southern borders. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell says that he will be perfectly happy to treat the daca issue in a fairway provided the government does not shut down on february 8th, he will work toward a daca solution before its march fifth, deadline, sounds like a little wiggle room this week. rob: yeah, certainly an interesting little debate here we are having on this and seeing the president come so far to trying to make the deal happen. kelly, thank you so much. today president trump heading t

. >>> joining me, democratic congressman john garamendi of california, he's been briefed on russia's attempts to tamper in the elections. how do these indictments match up with what you've been learning during all these briefings? >> they're right in line. this is exactly what we anticipated would happen. we knew that russia was doing this kind of work. we've known it for some time. actually back to the election itself, in the fall of 2016. and it's only one part of what they were doing. we know they hacked. that's not part of this indictment, but i'll bet it's coming. and they leaked that information out. there is absolutely no doubt that russia achieved a very strategic goal, and that was to disrupt the american election and beyond. not only that, but they also seriously disrupted our interaction with our key allies, with europe, the european union, with nato. they have been extraordinarily successful. right now there are two tracks, two tracks. let us keep in mind, there is the track about the ongoing investigation, the indictments, whether trump and his campaign were involved or

he had two primary contenders in the democratic primary. ,e won quite handily, actually in the primary race and did not have a contender in the general election. so he is running his northwest arkansas part of the attorney general's campaign from here in the dining room. because he didn't have a general election opponent he was able to work on behalf of jimmy carter in 1970, and he was carter -- in 1976, and he was carter's arkansas chair. during the time he was running the arkansas carter campaign, hillary actually went to indiana and randy carter campaign there and helped set up campaign offices and things like that. their lives were very much about political campaigns and working on behalf of democrats across the country. generalame the attorney rather ably in 1976, and two years later would become the country's youngest governor in 1978. when bill and hillary were married, hillary kept her maiden name come as would have been unusual in 1975 across the country. she really kept her look. she were glasses and no makeup and natural hair, th

michael starr hawkins, democratic strategist, former contributor to the as well as john jordan, and former navy intelligence officer. good morning. >> good morning. lauren: michael, begin with you. you expect the memo to be released and should it be? >> i hope there will be. devin nunes when he released the republican memo was the equivalency of the prosecution giving their case about the defense giving their case and sending it to the jury. as a criminal defense attorney, and that is not how we get to the troops. i hope the response will be given, but more importantly i hope the ig report is that the american people will be given so they can pass all the partisan discussion and find out what was going on. >> is partisan to say the lead inevitably to the president basically said look at everything that's come forth. do you think the president has indicated the least in terms of collusion with russia? >> there is enough daylight to go around for everybody here. democrats on the intelligence committee voted against other members of congress demanding his memo. it is just a first step. we nee

lauren: john karma what you think the democratic strategy will be come midterms. robyn was saved in the near term is pulled of a fox news of the shows 53% are up to mystic now about the economy. those are pretty good numbers. >> ask him if democrats want to run on the economy at the loser. thoughtful democrats in congress, the smart ones realize they can't run against that. it's not about the bonuses and larger paychecks either. the 43 million americans benefiting from the run-up in the stock market because they invest in their 401(k)s and so forth. not to mention the run-up in housing prices. in no part of americans growing quite strongly in addition to paychecks. they have to move on to another issue. >> i want to stay with you for a second because you're in california and that is where we saw the state democratic party fire up, moving left, distancing themselves from dianne feinstein. she's been in the senate for 25 years and is seeking her fifth term. that's going on in california and how will that affect national politics? >> asked significantly as california

but john crossshire said democratic primary voters are looking for electability. most want to be part of the resistance. if enthusiasm can -- if there are enough suburban independent voters up for grabs, democrats could squander nomination seats by nominating not ready for congress seats. the disarray is democrat is going through is bubbling beneath the surface. it is about to come to a head here quickly, as they see some primaries in march. >> absolutely. republicans out there can have some sympathy for democrats who find themselves in very much the same place republicans were in the first midterm of barack obama's presidency. huge energy in the base. giant churn energy in the base. but that's not always in keeping with what's best for which district. so the test for democrats now with resistance as it was for the tea party for republicans eight years ago, it's this. can you match candidates for districts? some districts in california, the big story about diane feinstein not winning the democratic party's nomination, that's a big deal. remember this, in californi

. >>> senator john stenis, democrat from mississippi, elected to the senate in 1947, widely respected on both sides of the aisle, served in the senate for a long time, more than 40 years. in 1973, senator stenis got held up on the street. he got shot. and he almost died. >> senator john stenis was shot in a washington holdup a week ago. early today, doctors became concerned over his recovery. they performed a 45-minute exploratory operation, but didn't find what they thought was wrong. the hospital said that the operation made senator stenis' condition worse. the prognosis is now grave. >> february 1973. senator john stenis got shot twice in a mugging outside his home in d.c. he almost died. after a long recovery, he did eventually make his way back to the senate. nbc reporters noted at the time that he looked thin, he wasn't walking as briskly as he used to. senate john stenis was also notoriously kind of deaf. senator ted kennedy said once that john stenis was, quote, known to be a man who was hard of hearing. two months after his return to the senate, after his near-death experienc

. >> you been traveling with john kasich, you're are a democrat, he's a republican. you've had a focus on less partisan issues. what have you learned traveling with a republican? >> i had dinner with john last night. much, but i ran for mayor in 2000 three, the first election i ever did, john kasich in 1994 became that share of the senate or house budget committee. he's been there for so long, and he's a great perspective. everybody is the same. doesn't matter whether -- you are all in it together. partisanure, i'm less than most people. governors are generally less partisan. kasich is a classic case and point. he is a republican, but he cares more about the country and a state. partisanship, he is a good republican at least in the old sense about what eating a republican meant. i think the willingness of people to get past partisanship is the only way this country will create legislation. host: a new yorker argued -- article called you the middleman. is there a market for the middleman? gov. hickenlooper: it's hard to say. certainly, at times there's not. we were se

democrats, including john tester from montana, urging speaker pelosi to back off on her demands. >> i think it is a good deal, and we don't want to let the perfect get in the road of the good. >> but she is saying no, no votes from my caucus until ryan gives us the same commitment. >> chris, i think ryan should give that commitment. i think it is a fair thing to do. >> if he doesn't, are you okay with the householding up this build? >> no. >> in the name of democrats? >> i think this bill needs to move forward. >> harris: mike emmanuel is live for us from capitol hill. mike. >>> harris, good afternoon. we expect things to heat up first in the senate. the senate relationship whip, the guy responsible for rounding up votes at dressed critics of the two year deal. >> they want to cut the military? do they want to deny states like mine disaster relief. there have been people waiting a long time, not even back in their homes. and so i'm going to support the deal. it is not perfect. it is far from perfect. but i think it is necessary. >> opponents of the two year budget a greet, $165 billio

was there in defense for john conyers, a democrat, who is in congress. senator franken and former senator now. and harvey weinstein. kelly, to you first. it does depend on when you are and if you're nice to the president? >> yes, it does. look at that list. it's kind after basket of deplorables, wouldn't you say? it temp defend only men and men on his side who likes him and who he thinks can do something for him. it is concerning. those of us who during the election kept arguing that judgment and character matter, i think, we are really being proved right here. if you take a look at some of these people and how much it sounds like john kelly and don mcgahn defended rob porter and keep him on, that is why the white house is desperate to have decent people working for them and rob porter was good at his job but why are the white house having trouble finding great people to work there? people don't want to be associated with president trump. >> they have got a few more positions to fill since porter resigned over the past couple of days. more have resigned

john solomon at "the hill." what's your takeaway from this democrat memo? >> we were looking forward to this. it doesn't turn out to be a very evidentiary document laying out an argument but not putting in a lot of new evidence. we have no evidence of collusion. there is no challenge to the fact they withheld from the court the identity, the fact the dnc and clinton campaign paid for the primary evidence. we learned in the last couple days, the fbi interviewed carter page in 2015. and in 2015 -- they intercepted carter page, the russians said carter pawnl wasn't very useful to them. you would think they would tell that to the court if they are asking to surveil him. but they leave that out. the fbi and the doj looked like the 17-year-old son who sneaks out of your house. he gets busted and the dad says what kid you drink and he says coca-cola when he had five beers. catherine: there was a counter untell jones investigation based in new york city. and carter pentagon with us one of the targets of these russian spies. carter page agreed to be a cooperating wi

mike: you've been traveling the country with john kasich, you are a democrat, he is a republican. what have you learned in traveling and appearing with a republican? gov. hickenlooper: i had dinner with john last night. -- when i ran for mayor in 2003, the first election i ever did, john kasich back in 1994 became the chair of the house budget committee. he has been there for so long and he gives me a great perspective. i came out of the restaurant business. in the restaurant business when there is a big rush, everybody is the same, you are all in it together. partisanure i am less than most people. governors are less partisan. inn kasich is a classic case point. he is a republican but he cares more about the country and about the state. good republican, at least in the old sense about what being a republican meant. i think the willingness of people to get past the partisanship is the only way this country is ever going to create a good legislation. yorker article called you a middleman. is there a market for the middleman? gov. hickenlooper: at times there is not. we are saying b

john jordan and democratic strategist sasha burns, thank you for joining us early this morning. congress hasn't passed a major reform on immigration in 30 years but this rare move to have both sides debate the issue and come up with a solution, is that the key to immigration reform? >> the problem with it is whatever the senate can pass won't past the house, probably won't get trump's signature. it is a bit of a farce. in terms of dc a lot of talk about the devil's fault for not coming to a deal but they already did. this language in the house, the senate, that is bipartisan, graham durbin, trump supported fred stein and then didn't. what is going on now is mcconnell trying to get vote on the record for election, have votes people can prove whatever he wants to prove. you have ryan who to keep trump happy. and the victory paid for the wall which seems to be the sticking point. heather: what do you think? is at all for nothing? >> it doesn't have to be that way at all. senator grassley introduced the 6 there and succeed ask, the codification of the four pillars donald trump laid

chief of staff john kelly was there. he said the president has the new democratic memo. he's not had an opportunity to read it yet. kelly handed him the memo before he went into the lengthy meeting in the cabinet room on ms-13. the white house says the democratic memo will go through is same process as the republican memo went through. the national security council will review it and brew in the director of the national intelligence and the fbi and doj to get opinions on whether it should be released. i'm told by sources that have seen the memo that it goes much more to sources and mets than the republican memo did. there's some people that think that that was intentional. adam schiff is looking nor the white house to make changes and shifts as warning against political redactions. i'm told by sources here at the white house that there is material in that memo that will likely need redacting. the end of the day, shep, the white house wants to get this out, wants to show that it can be fair whether it's the republican memo or the democratic memo. but it's likely that the

griffin believes the democratic memo good actually help the republicans. in the democrat memo which is a few pages long all they do all they do is say that they started their investigation without evidence they essentially admitted to not having evidence and are pursuing this investigation without evidence and to send in other words they got lucky with the steal. at least they thought they did and they use that seven weeks in so you're not talking about a long period of time between the time that the democrats initiated this investigation and they used to still dossier it's not an eternity here this is simply a partisan attempt to neutralize the the extreme series of instances of corruption here that have been exposed by the republican efforts if you look at what the f.b.i. did for example with clinton they essentially let clinton off the hook for divulging major classified information to the public through her servers so this is not something that the that the republicans have done to the f.b.i. this is a culture of corruption at the f.b.i. and the f.b.i.

and how democrats interpret that. if they feel like they need to provide more facts to answer the nunes memo or whether the thing has just collapsed on its own. john harwood and sarah westwood, guys, thanks so much. >> we're getting to the breaking news out of south carolina. new information about overnight railway crash. two people are dead, new word that at least 216 have been injured. that amtrak train collided with a freight train at 2:30 thirst morning. sources are telling nbc's tom costello that a track switch may have been in the wrong position. the amtrak, we know was heading from new york to miami. had about 140 people on board. and the governor of south carolina took a moment to speak about the victims of that crash. >> here's what we can tell you, we've been to the scene, and i would ask, this is a sunday, everyone going to church if you've been or not going, say a prayer for please people that are involved. >> and both people killed in the derailment have been identified as am strak employees. most of the

decided to run for attorney general of two years after losing to john paul hammerschmidt. inhad two primary contenders the democratic primary. handily in the statewide primary race. there was not a contender in the general election. he was running his northwest arkansas part of the attorney general campaign from here in the dining room. because he did not have an opponent, he was able to work on behalf of jimmy carter in 1976. he was the arkansasbecause he dd jimmy carter went on to win 55% of the arkansas votes that era. wentg this time, hillary to indiana and ran the carter campaign there and helped set up campaign offices. their lives were very much about political campaigns and working on behalf of democrats throughout the country. bill became the attorney general rather easily in 1976. would becomeer, the country's youngest governor in 1978. hillary cap tournament, her maiden name when bill and hillary were married, which would have been unusual in 1975 across the country. and she worelook glasses and no makeup and natural hair, that kind of thing. his second term as

from kathy is up first mesh again, a democrat, good morning. caller: good morning john and dan. was born and raised in flint in 1957. gm business being there, there were a lot of roads built and sidewalks. you could get anywhere really by walking or riding your bike. there was a lot of driving. the roads are in poor condition in the state of michigan and that's a long story but i think we need to encourage the building of paths for people to walk or fixing the roots of people can safely travel. there is nothing wrong with that. when people see someone walking, they think they have a mental health issue when really, we should be like denmark, modern, extensive infrastructure. people should be encouraged to walk, it's a lifestyle. they have rails. flint has the capacity to do that. >> you can find this online at c-span.org. we leave it now to return live to the floor of the house working today on fighting online sex trafficking and in

so were some democrats overhyping their concern here? >> good evening, john. no, a lot of the concern was that you would be -- during an ongoing investigation, in realtime revealing to the public evidence that exists in the case. just because the public knew, it's never been the practice to acknowledge the evidence that's out there. another concern is that the white house had to sign off on this memo. so you're giving subjects of this investigation, including the president and white house counsel don mcgahn, a look into the evidence that exists against them. never would you allow a suspect before they're questioned by the police to look at all the evidence the police have. that's just not the practice. you want to keep that evidence as a close hold. the larger issue here is the rule of law, the idea that political leaders in a democracy do not go after the police when they're being investigated or use the police to investigate their opponents. that's what's happening here. we should release our memo immediately and do all we can to protect bob mueller and rose

the democratic convention had nominated john kennedy. she really wasn't especially fond of john kennedy. she felt he was a little bit too young to be president and she was worried about his commitment to civil rights legislation. but he needed her support, he felt, in order to win what he knew would be a very close election. she was very powerful woman in the democratic party at a time when women didn't have a lot of power in politics, but eleanor roosevelt did. she was well respected and she knew that without her support, he might not win that election. he came literally here, wanting to get her support, asking for support. they had a very intense meeting here together. she wanted him to promise that he would support civil rights legislation if he became president. that was a cause very close to her heart. she made him promise that. when he finally agreed to do that, she did agree to support him. >> john f. kennedy came to visit me at hyde park. we talked together and i learned that he was truly interested in carrying on many of the thi

, john van de kamp. she actually used that rejection as evidence of her backbone in this commercial. >> yes, i support the death penalty. the people of this state want to be protect did and i aim to protect them. >> reporter: even though she was the party endorsement in 1990, feinstein won the party voters. she beat van de kamp in the primaries. but she did lose to pete wilson in the general election. they say the democrats at the convention do not necessarily reflect the party voters. >> it has always been dominated by activists types and diane has never been an activist.>> reporter: at the convention this year daily own got more votes. a recent poll by the public policy institute shows that diane feinstein was well ahead with 67% of democrats. still daily own is determined -- deleon continues to fight. >> reporter: feinstein talked about the daca program. that is an issue that de leon has been championing .>> we will not give up the fight. i pledge this to you. >> reporter: and she admitted that the po

. >> john roberts tells us democrats wasted no time laughing at the speech. >> reporter: president donald trump got high marks from a publicans for his state of the union address, a speech in which he extended an olive branch to democrats. >> i am and extending an open hand to work with members of both parties, democrats and republicans to protect citizens of every background, color, religion and creed. >> reporter: finding a fix for daca is the most urgent. pictures -- protections for dreamers and he presented a compromise. >> a detailed proposal that should be supported by both parties as a fair compromise. one where no one gets everything they want but where our country gets the critical reforms it needs and must have. >> reporter: it offers a path to citizenship for 1.8 million dreamers, three times the number former president obama protected. the trade-offs over border security, chain migration and the visa lottery are something they won't swallow.>> it was dangerous, and instilled fear. what he is doing brings tears to the eyes of the statue of liberty and instills fear in the heart

they are not democrats in the mold of john f. kennedy or tip o'neill. they hide behind labels like democrat, left wing and progressive to make their socialists agenda more palatable. that is tierrifying. that should terrify every citizen who values the american ideal in this country of individual liberty. they politisize the department of justice. they weaponize the eternal revenue service, the epa, perhaps crippled the fbi and the intelligence community and seized an embedded leadership in all of them to advance their agenda. absolute control in every corner of our government is their ultimate dream. these intellectual leads, they think they are smarter than we are. they think he are smarter than the rest of us. they think they are better than we are. they truly believe it. you know it. the privilege and the powerful, they think they deserve to be in charge of every lever of power. you know what? the united states constitution makes it absolutely clear that they are not in charge. we, the people, are in charge of this country. washington, oh my gosh, t

increases which means speaker of the house paul ryan will need republicans, going to need a lot of democrats, too. christine and dave? >> thank you. >>> white house chief of staff john kelly standing by his comments about undocumented immigrants that some saw as demeaning. audio posted by the "washington post" showed kelly trying to draw a distinction between the 690,000 daca recipients and one million others who potentially qualified for the program but failed to register. >> the difference between 690 and 1.8 million were the people that some would say were too afraid to sign up, others would say were too lazy to get off their asses but didn't sign up. >> there's another reason here, as well. we should note it costs $495 to apply for daca's status. then you pay for renewals. kelly was confronted by lawmakers in a closed door meeting about the comments. according to people in the room, he repeated the sentiment. white house press secretary sarah huckabee sanders tried to spin the lazy label then not on to immigrants but on to democrats. >> we're focused on actually getting a solution. frank
